I used to hate the name Carmine, but I like it now. I've never considered Carmine a feminine or unisex name in any way. Just because this name ends in "-ine" like many feminine suffix does not make it one of a kind. You wouldn't definitely name a boy Jasmine, so don't name a girl Carmine.

I think this name can totally work for a girl! It certainly sounds feminine enough. I've never heard the Kar-Meen-Neh pronunciation, though; I've always pronounced it Car-Mine. Both are great, though!

Naming a boy Carmine is equivalent to naming him Christine if Carmine is obviously pronounced Kar-meen. I would like Carmine for a boy, but only with the pronunciation kar-mien which makes it sound unisex. Kar-meen is strictly feminine. Carmen is also a nice girl’s name. Carmine is a great girl’s name pronounced kar-meen, and I like Carmine pronounced kar-mien for either gender.

I think Carmine sounds masculine only if it’s pronounced Car-mien while the feminine pronunciation is Car-meen. So the feminine pronounce of this name on a guy would sound wimpy, and better for a girl.

I first encountered this name in a booklet of baby names my mother had when she was pregnant with me 30 years ago, and it was listed as a girls' name. I even used the name for a female character of mine. I was really surprised when I found out that this is a traditionally masculine name, and as a result, I have a hard time seeing it used on a man.
