I don't like either - they're
CANDY (and I know that will be hypertexted... well, I have a friend named
Candy - even this I would prefer as a nn for
Candice).
Also, my highschool accounted teacher is named
Carmelita but she goes by
Lita and when we found out that wasn't her name one of the girls asked why she never mentioned it before (ours was a small school so the students knew everything about the teachers and vice versa) and she said it was because she was
embarrassed.
I think
Carmen would be a close, and better, alternative.

A million people I
Still feel all alone
