Karla

I like this spelling and the Carla spelling.

The K looks so tacky. Carly is nicer.

Very pretty.

Waaaay more modern than dingy Carla. It's very bold-sounding.

I despise this name. I also find Carla very ugly. Just stick with the masculine name Carl.

I have literally never heard of a serial killer called Karla in my full 27 years of life. Jeez, it's a pretty name.

I am named Karla and I have mixed feelings about this name like one minute I like it and the next I hate it. Personally like it with a K rather than a C. I think it's more interesting spelled with a K and gives it more sass. My dad is Croatian which I may be wrong but maybe that's why I have it spelt with a K but "Karla" is my dad's name and my mum's name smashed together, fyi.

I really like this version of Carla. The K doesn't make it look too modern, like with Khloe, Karly, etc. It's possible I may be the only one, but I live in the US and I've honestly never heard of Karla Homolka.

I kinda like it :) Better than Carla.

My name is Karla. It is a beautiful name. Your child needs the name Karla for a girl and Carlos for a boy- that is my dad's name and if you are having twins which are boy and girl I suggest the names because they are rare and they go together. If I was you I would name my child that name. And there are famous people named like that and they are good role models.

This is my name. I can't say I like the name yet I can't say I hate it either. I've only met two people with the same name in my entire life. I sort of like that.

There are always going to be bad associations with a name. Nearly every name there is there is a criminal with that name. My name is Karla and I've never had any comment made to me about the serial killer in Canada even though I have heard about her.

DON'T, I say DON'T, name your daughter this. It's a pleasant name, I'll give you that, however, here in Canada, this name is forever associated with Karla Homolka (if you don't know who she is, search her). Let me tell you, this woman killed her own sister, and along with her husband kidnapped, raped, and murdered hordes of innocent girls. Don't taint your daughter with this name.

I have a sister named Karla and she is one of the most caring and generous people I know. She once drove for twelve hours to come and see me when I got my heart broken. Since I associate this name with my sister, I say it rocks!

I don't like it much. Too modern and not very classy. Besides, I knew a girl called Karla, and let's just say we didn't get on to well.

I love this name. I think it's so elegant and pretty.
