I'm a Carla. i've always had a love/hate relationship with the name. I love that's It's not super common, but really don't like the name itself. It'sounds harsh and outdated to me. My sisters name is Keira and I had always wished I had her name instead- lol!

I like that I dont run into many people with the'same name. I was born in the 80s when everyone else was naming their babies Jessica, Jennifer, Lauren or Sarah. My only issue with the name 'Carla' is that its sooooo dated. It'screams 1972s.

Im 27 years old and name Carla. As a kid I didn't like it there were kids who would say my name wrong to tease me. But now I don't mind it. I have met a couple Carla's in my life, one even lives in my town. She's 30 years older then me. Once in a while we run into eachother. "Hi Carla." "Hi Carla" LOL

My name is Carla and I really like it! Sometimes I get mistaken for the name Clara ! I was originally going to be named Kaitlyn which I love just as much! I have grown up to know 0 Carla❤️s except for myself. My mother named me. My nicknames are monkey and bear :) I love those animals I sometimes feel lonely living 10 years on this planet and still not knowing another Carla. A friend with the closest name to me is Kayla! I enjoy my name tho! It's unique like all names.

A few people mistake me for Darla or Carol. Some call me Carlita in Spanish. Most Carla's I'meet, spell it with a K. I used to hate my name as a kid, but I'm 50 and proud of being Carla today. Now if I could find it on a keychain or other things, that would be a plus.

I think my name is very fitting with me: strong, independent, takes no BS, smart, but It's also caring and thoughtful. I used to hate it when I was younger but it has been growing on me as I grow older. I'm 27 now and I wouldn't change it. It's not that common anymore and it fits me perfectly.

I'm 28 and here, in Indonesia, people are more familiar with Clara, instead. So yes, I often got people addressed me as Clara than Carla, but that's when I feel my name is uniquely different. Even so, i've came across few Carla's in my life and I still feel It's a unique name. Like it a lot!

I owe my name to my paternal grandfather, Karl Niermann, who did as a German soldier during the'second World War. My parents (in 1995) decided to name me Carla in honour of the great man my grandfather was. I am proud of my name, and think it is beautiful - it makes me feel feminine and strong.

replay

I am 65 and I have always loved my name. I think It's feminine and its unique without being so unusual. I have always been'the only Carla (except the 1st grade) so in that respect It's stands out. I especially love hearing other people say my name. In the end It's the kind of person you are that makes your name'special and not the other way around.

Im Carla Long and Im 14 yrs old, i used not to like my name until I seen'there are other girls out there with the'same name as me. I used to think my name was ugly because its not like my friends name Juliet, Lillian, or Lorraine. I now love my name and think its special because im named after my Grandpa, Carl!
