what do you think of "Cara-Mia" as a name for a girl?

Question

i know that it means "my beloved" in italian.
i like it cuz Cara is a name and Mia is a name and it flows so nicesly togehter.
i've always loved the song "Cara mia" and when i was really little when i'd watch the addams family i always through that morticia's name was actually Cara Mia cuz thats what gomez would always say to her and start kissing up her arm.
i think i'd have it be all the first name vs Cara being the first name and Mia being the middle name.

so what do you think?

Answer 1

Answer 5

I prefer it Kara, since it sounds even more prettier and girly. But Cara with a C is a dislike for me.

Answer 6

I can't imagine Cara-Mia being the boss of an international corporation. I think you're limiting your daughter's future potential with such a baby name. She won't always be teeny tiny and when she travels in Italy people will think she's vain.

Answer 7

That used to be (maybe it still is) a brand of canned artichoke hearts.

Answer 8

If your kid is authentic Italian, but if not, then I don't think it would work.

Answer 9

if she ever goes to Spain she will hate you forever and ever, it means "my face", very bad... and it doesn't look good at all... i think
