Thoughts on Karly?

I like it better than Carly at the moment.

It doesn't seem creative to me because Karl is the variant of Carl used in many cultures.

What is your favorite spelling?

Carly gives me a 70s Carly Simon vibe but Karly seems younger and fresher to me.

What do you think?

Hi Perrine !!!

Sorry... I actually dislike both Carly and Karly.

Indeed the only variants of this name that I like are Charlotte (French, German, English pronounciations) and Charlène while Carrie as diminutive.

I really like Carly and would use it. Don't care much for Karly, I feel like if you use a k you should use ee on the end. I like Carlee and Karlee too.

Sounds like a name the Kardashians would use.

Now seriously, Carly is fine, a little cutesy, but still fine. I get 2000's vibes rather than 70's because of Carly Rae Jepsen.

Karly is too modern for my taste. Of course, I usually prefer a C, too, but there are some exceptions like Kara, Karl and Kaleb.

I don't like the trend where the letter C is substituted to the letter K, but that's my personal opinion. No one will look strangely at Karly spelled this way.

Carly / Karly has a nice sound to it, but it's not my style.

I usually prefer the C as well.

But Karly isn't trendy to me because Karl is the traditional spelling of Carl in many countries.

I like Karly and Katherine and apart from that I usually prefer Cs (Caitlin, Courtney, Cara, Chloe, Clara).

I love your username, by the way :) Belphoebe.

THANK-YOU! This is my name, and my father is Karl and his father is Karl. And his father was Johan but--- definitely not a trendy K name vibe in my opinion :)
