This is my dad's name. He has a few friends who also have this name so he also goes by Charlie. He sometimes says that he doesn't like it because so many people have that name but I think he is secretly proud. This name is a good solid Spanish name, it's like John. But in Spanish common. But it is still very nice and I like it.

Carlos is a nice name for a character in a romantic novel or movie. It's also a nice name in general. I don't know why I get that impression. There is just something about it, perhaps the sound and meaning, that has a romance narrative.

Good name, It is better than Charles, which to me sounds too "royal", with medieval history, or maybe because in Slavic languages Kral / Korol means king - possible from the name Charlemagne (Carolus magnus).
