Carmine always makes me think of an old Italian guy. I like it.

Carmine is a lovely name. I encourage more people to use this name.

Maybe this is very unusual, but I've always thought of this as a strictly feminine name. I didn't even know it was used for men until a few years ago.

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.

In Italian, this is pronounced CAHR-mee-ne. Italian Americans with this name generally pronounce it CAHR-mine.

Carmine is a masculine name. If you want a feminine name along a similar vein, consider Carmina.
