My husband and I are fairly certain that we're having a boy, but we want to have a girl's name picked out anyway. We were completely decided on Karma Carolee until we told my mom and stepdad and they both wrinkled their noses, mumbling something about "the stigmas attached to good karma/bad karma" but I looked it up, and the actual definition of Karma is "action". What do you think?

I don't know where you found that definition of "karma." I just read eight definitions and they are all "fate" and/or "destiny."

Aside from the meaning (good/bad karma), Karma Carolee is just too sing-songy sounding to me.

DH works w/ a woman by that name (Karma) & every time he says her name I think to myself, "That name is kind of odd." She's actually Spanish or Hispanic.

Sorry, I'm not too crazy about Karma either.

I don't like it either, and despite the meaning you found when you looked it up, your mom is right about the good karma/bad karma thing. but I'm also bothered by how Karma Carolee doesn't even sound good together at all

Carolee is kinda of weird in itself. Caroline, Carol or Carolyn are known names, but even they wouldn't be right with Karma for a middle

Sounds too much like "caramel candy" to me.

Plus I just don't like the whole good/bad karma association.

Karma's a little out there for me personally, but I dont' find it outrageous! I think if you 2 love it go for it...and don't share names anymore...just a bit of advise. My dh and I don't share names until the babe's born...that way we can choose names WE love for OUR baby and don't have to listen to the rumble-bumble. HTH

Thank you all so much for your input, even those of you with negative things to say. We are still going with Karma Carolee if the baby turns out to be a girl (for those of you wondering about the middle, it's a blend of mine and my husband's middles, and Carol and forms of it are traditional girls' middles in my family) Hopefully we will find out on Friday whether the worry about a girl's name was even worth the time and effort. Again, thank you all!!!
