[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Karla/Carla is going to make a comeback soon, watch. I know 2 born within the last year and a half to entirely separate families with no relation to each other.[/quote]
Spelled with c or k?[/quote]
Both of their names are spelled with a K, if that's what you're asking.[/quote]

Carla Bruni begs to differ.

It's spelled both ways.  It's more common to see the K in central/Eastern Europe, not that isn't a popular baby name now, though.  The C spelling is Western Europe/US/Canada.[/quote]
Carla used to be the more common spelling in the US, but that changed in the early 1990s. Karla was #730 (out of 1000) on the list of most common names used for babies born in 2024 in the US. Carla didn't even rank in the top 1000. Link below.

This matches my anecdotal experience. The only ones that I've met and/or know of with the C are older Italian-American women from New York/New Jersey. The younger ones all have the K and seem to come from more of a variety of backgrounds - Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, African-American, etc.[/quote]
