Comments for the name Charisma

A famous bearer is Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel).

It was chosen for her after a perfume made by Avon cosmetics.

Kharisma Valetti is a character in the webcomic Something Positive.

If this is a name, they might as well name children Knowledge.

It is a name and a very nice one at that.

I don't really like this name. It sounds kind of tacky to me.

Charisma, or charism (anointing) means 'a favour specially vouchsafed by God; a grace; a talent'-divine virtue, not the superficial meaning that is given to it today closer to 'glamour', it was and still is, a Christian term for god's anointed.

Carrie could be a cute nickname for Charisma.

It would be just too bad if a woman named Charisma wasn't very charismatic after all. Imagine this name on a fat, ugly, grumpy woman, or a teen girl with a serious acne problem. Very awkward. I'd say the name is quite tacky, and if people decide to hate the girl, boy, is she in for life in hell for her school years with a name like this.

I think it's a unique, beautiful, memorable choice. I personally don't care for Carrie/Charis(e), etc for nicknames, but I do like Issy/Izzy (CharISma)!

I think this name sounds pretty. Even if it is a name we use in every day English. Other names are taken from words and this is just the same. And why not name your daughter Charisma, hoping she would possess this trait?

My cousin's name is Charisma, and she goes by Chari, which is pronounced just like Carey.

I don't like this name as a first name but I think it's great as a filler middle name. :)

So beautiful as a middle name. Charisma is such a cool concept and a envious trait to have. I wouldn't use it as first name, though, in case the girl grew up to be shy and uncharismatic. However, I'm not happy about the religious significance of Charisma (a "charismatic" can also be someone who belongs to a particular Christian group), but that meaning is mostly obsolete now, so it doesn't bother me. On the side note, the religious meaning stemmed from the fact that people thought Charisma was a gift (charis - grace, kindness) from God, which makes it related to the word "charity". I think that's a nice association.

I think it's a beautiful first or middle name!
