Contradictory to what most have said about the pronunciation, here in Australia they DO say "KAHR-məl" rather than "Car-MEL", though that might be we lazy Aussies and our lazy accent :p I know three Carmels personally, all in their fifties to seventies, all lovely ladies. A beautiful name and a beautiful meaning. I think this name should make a comeback, it's sooo pretty, much better than the 'Carmen' variant.
The three I've encountered, two Christian and one Jewish, all pronounce it car-MEL.
My mum knew this woman with this name but she pronounced it as car-MEL.
