What do you feel about the name Caprice (for a girl). Although BF would want to spell it as Kaprice or Kapreese or somehow with a K. I trhink he wants a K since our sons name is Kai. I think it is cute. Although I coulnt really think of a good middle name to go with it. Not that we are in a hurry. Our son was just born and we are not planning a sibling anytime tooooo soon. He just said yesterday that he would want to name our daughter that assuming we had a daughter. What do you think? what about a MN? Do you think that it would make people think of the car?

I have a Sister-in-Law named Caprice, we call her Capi...Her sister named her son (now 2) Kai...so this post really caught my eye. These names are really rare. :)

**What do you feel about the name Caprice (for a girl).

Hate it.

**Although BF would want to spell it as Kaprice or Kapreese or somehow with a K.

That just makes the name worse, and to add insult to injury others will have the impression that you are not well educated (by mispelling the name). I also can't see Dr. Kapreese or President Kaprice.

**What do you think? what about a MN?

No MN could save Caprice.

**Do you think that it would make people think of the car?

Yes

I love it for a middle name! I would consider it for a first name too.

It reminds me of the salad (ya know, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil).


The name is NMSAA.

I rather like it...although I wouldn't use it personally. It doesn't remind me of the car, but you do need to consider whether it would bother you, if it did remind people...

The salad is Caprese. I don't like the name at all with "K"...while normally I love K names....

How about shortening it to Capri and using it for a middle name? True, Capri is the name of a style of pants now(!) but when I think of it, I think of the beautiful Mediterranean island destination.

Good luck!

What about Charese not quite the car but close to your original name.

I think it's cute (with a C) but I think
1) it would be mispronounced/misspelled alot,
2) I really don't think the meaning is something you want to put on a girl, since caprice as a word means impulsivity, doing things randomly on a whim.
And I have never heard of the car, but in general I think it sounds pretty but is only nice in theory, not in real life : /
Sorry!

The car doesn't come to mind right away for me, and I like the sound of the name, but think I'd prefer it for a middle name. As pointed out before, there is the meaning, which might not be something you want for your child's first name. Being a lawyer, when I hear the word caprice, I think of the arbitrary & capricious standard, which is used in some types of legal analysis. I probably like it less for that reason than non-law type people.

There are lots of names with similar sounds--do you like any of these?

Cadence
Patrice
Terese
Carine (friend in Armenian)
Carmine
Charise/Charisa/Cherise

Good luck!!
