It's okay. The meaning is nice, and I don't think I'd mind being named
Carmel, but mostly it sounds like a place to me (there's a place in California as well as
Indiana called
Carmel, and it also reminds me of Cozumel in Mexico) or similar sounding words like caramel and camel instead of a person.
eta:
Based on sound/meaning, I like
Carmel and
Carmen about equally, but
Carmen sounds more namey to me, so if I had to use one, I'd probably go with that.
