My name is Carly and when I was little I HATED my name... in Kindergarden I decided to change it from Carly to Melinda (my grandfather "Mel" said I should have a name that would have a nickname like his) :) I'm in my mid twenties now and have since changed my name back to Carly and wouldn't have it any other way. Even'though it is reletively uncommon, I have had 3 friends throughout my life that have also been named Carly! You're right about not being able to find it on anything though...

I was named after Carly Simon. Throughout school some people did mis-pronounce it and at a younger age I didn't care for it much. Now that I'm older I love it because It's rare to find another Carly, even spelled the'same. It's inter'sting when I do.

Carly is a pretty name,but too little girly.You could use Charlotte or Charlene as a proper name for your daughter Carly,so she won't have to use this name when she is 30.

My name is Karlie and I love it. My brother was 2 years old and pretended he had a little friend named Karlie. When I was born they named me Karlie. Probably my mother'spelled it that way because she liked unusual spellings.( Julie and Karlie are spelled about the'same way.) A friend from church about 5 years older'spells her name Karley. "K" is a pretty letter to write.I was born in 1965 so I have had that name way before is was common. I do have to spell my name quite often'to people because they usually spell it Carly.

Well, people do say it wrong! They call me Angelina or Angelica or Angela or anything that'starts with angel! Angeline is a Greek name and it means Heavenly Messenger. Long ago when I was in the'second grade my teacher told me Heavenly Messenger meant angel so I was happy but back in the'second grade we had a job called messenger where you would deliver'something to the office and when'the boys in my class found out they would make fun of me by saying Heavenly Messenger will you bring me a pizza❤️ I didn't like that but in third grade they for got all about it! Most people call me Angeline but my friends call me Angie. I don't think It's too bad to have the name Angeline so I'm fine with it because second grade was long ago!

So I spell my name Karly instead of the usual Carly, but I don't mind it because I don't know that many girls with the name Karly. I do get called iCarly almost daily and it annoys me, but I think that Karly is such a beautiful name and at times it can sound childish but I still think that it is a really nice name and not that many people that I know have that name.

My name is Carly. No one pronounces it wrong, but they pronounce my full name (caroline) wrong. They think It's like 'Lynn', short i, but It's 'Line', long i!

My name is Carly, and I absolutely despise it! ever'since the popular Nickelodean TV show "iCarly" came out, that's all i've been called. Teache's, Peers, doesn't matter. To them I'm either iCarly or Carlos. I am neither a boy nor the'star of a TV show my little sister watches. This name is to common and boring, and unless spelled with a "K", to me, is not pretty at all. I like the'sound, but not the'spelling. Karli would be a much better choice, in my opinion. either way, I'm changing my name when I'm old enough.
