[Opinions] Carlisle
Yes, I know it's a name from "Twilight", but let's just forget about that for a moment. What do you think of it? If someone came up to you and said, "Hi, my name is Carlisle", what would you think? Last but not least, any good combo suggestions? Thanks in advance. :)

Well I wouldn't think of Twilight, I'd think of the city in Scotland. I don't like it, it's just a place name to me.

Way to bring up a new one, Ozma. I've yet to hear this one discussed. I may be the only one living in a Twilight-free-bubble, but it gives me an advantage in these discussions, I think!
Carlisle, Carlisle, Carlisle. I can't really pin a reason on why it's not grabbing me. It seems like the type of simple, yet uncommon name I typically appreciate. In any case, if someone introduced themselves as Carlisle, I'd assume they played tennis and wore their sweaters over their shoulders like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Belair. :o)

I'd be very surprised to come across it on someone from the UK, and I'd wonder if his parents were from Carlisle or had some other association with it. On an American, I'd probably think it was nice to see a city name being used that wasn't London. It's okay - it's quite pleasant-sounding and Carlisle isn't a bad place to have as a namesake.

As long as that someone was male, I would totally accept it. Yes, I have seen people suggest this for a girl...
I actually like Carlisle. Yes, it is a Twilight name but that doesn't make it a bad name and since Twilight's Carlisle is "good" and noble and everything, he's not a bad namesake.

Carlisle Dorian
Carlisle Ethan
Carlisle Felix

Ah, but when I hear Carlisle I don't think of Twilight at all. I think of a British actor named Robert Carlyle. In my mind he's very closely associated with that name.
I quite like the name in theory and I wouldn't mind meeting someone with that name.
I'm not good with combos but what aboutCarlisle Graham
Carlisle Ozias
Carlisle Patrick
Carlisle Magnus
Carlisle Tobias
Carlisle Solomon
