Happy Tuesday, all!
I know, I know. This is a Name post on a TUESDAY. #WHUTTT My little household has been a little under the weather following a lovely Thanksgiving day. We're better now! But I did not get my posts together due to that fact. heheh
Anyways, here's a new set for you with some rather unique names.
Enjoy!

F | English, Jewish
KAHR-mel
From the Hebrew word karmel meaning "garden." Mount Carmel is a mountain in Israel, mentioned in the Old Testament. As a given name, Carmel has mainly been used by Catholics.

How was your Thanksgiving, friends? And what about NaNo? Still pluggin' away?
What do you think of this set of monickers? Got a favorite??
Have a lovely week!
Glad to hear your family is doing better. Sickness has been doing the rounds at our house as well. A hazard of the season, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteThese names are such an interesting batch. I'd actually never heard of Garo and I didn't realize Carmel was at all commonly used. I like Roald a lot and have been hoping to use it for something, I'm just not sure where it would fit yet.
Thank you! So are we. Sorry to hear! It's that time of year again, I suppose -_-
DeleteThanks! I thought so too. I had never heard of Garo either---I think I first saw it as the name of a football player (though I can't remember who now) a week ago. Oooo! I hope you can use Roald, I like that one a lot!
Awwww, I'm sorry you've all been under the weather! Glad to hear you're doing better now. <3
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome set of names! Garo totally sounds like a cool fantasy name. And Alanna is goooorgeous! I love the uniqueness of Carmel too. I've never seen that used as a name but I LOVE it!
Thank you, dearie! *^ - ^*
DeleteAnd thanks! Totally agree. Yes!! SOOOO pretty. And I think I first saw Carmel used by another blogger I follow---she's a lovely lady and so I thought I'd feature the name. :]
