Comments and insights on the name Carl

Personal experiences with the name Carl

It's been a very good name. Not often mis-spelled. Not really common so that people don't know if it is me that is being mentioned. Common-enough so people don't think it is a weird name. I really liked that I had the same first name as Carl Yastremski (Yaz) since I grew up in MA as a Red Sox fan.

Once of my uncles is called Carl. He really suits his name and I love that it is spelled with a 'C' not a 'K'.
