I was named for my father, Karl, and never really appreciated my name until I became an adult. (Most of the girls of my childhood were names such as Debbie, Susie, Kathy, Linda, and Wendy.) Most people do spell it with a "C," but I prefer the "K," since my father's family is of German ancestry. I never had a nickname but have lately considered "Karly," although i've been'told I don't look anything like a Karly!

People always want to spell my name with a C therefore my whole life I have introduced myself as Karla with a "K". I don't know why but when'they spell my name with a C the hair on my back stands straight up and it irritates me.

The name Katia is great! I have had people who say they love it. I like it because not many people have this name and it makes me feel unique. I think this name is beautiful. I have had probably a million people misprounce it or spell it wrong. It's funny anytime someone knows a Katia and i tell them my name they say something about. I do get a little frustrated because anytime i want something personalized I can't find it on the'shelf. But i love my name!!!. Age 14

I don't like the K spelling - the Carla alternative seems softer and prettier.

Great name - female form of Karl, of German origin meaning "strong man". I know a girl called Karla who was named after Karl Marx, who was an I'mensely influential German philosopher, political economist, and revolutionary. His analysis of history was in ter's of class struggles, summed up in the opening line of the introduction to his (and Engels')Communist Manifesto: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."

My name is Karla, I was named after my grandfather Karl. I have always liked my name because it wasn't very common. I was always the only one named Karla so, it felt more like it was my own name and I didn't have to share it!

My name is Karla and when I'meet people they all say my name is beautiful. I like that all my friends and family spell it with a K and not with a C. I read that all Karlas are beautiful but don't know it,that they take every guy's breath away, that they are gifted with a musical talent and that they are the weirdest and funniest person you know. I find that funny because all my friends say that I'm very funny and weird,and I play the piano and the guitar. I think that my name rocks
