Comments and insights on the name Carmel: | Edit

Having this name definitely helps build ones character, you eventually have to take things in stride because you never hear the cotton pickin end of it. For me I just get tired of correcting after awhile and let people say whats comfortable. I only irritates me when a English major or a minister gets it wrong. Go figure it's in the Bible. I sometimes wish my parents had named me something that sounded sensible, but I guess I wouldn't have as much fun. I've always felt perhaps people don't take me seriously when they hear a name that reminds them of candy. In other ways I love it because of the uniqueness & playfulness.
