However Carmen!
1-Names are giving the character to the persons and some names for everybody carrying a personality.
2-There are some names that always reminds you something either a bitter experience, sweet dreams or a good memory and you may have a lot of thoughts with such a memorizing name.
3- Carmen reminds me a name of an Opera and good memories of a friend who made me familiar with that opera, almost 25 years ago. The music in my mind became a sign of intellectual when I was growing up fast. And it was a window to music as art and a glance to classic music, to be shown like a moderate.
4- Our Carmen and the one, who left a lot of good memories, saved her own place in our minds. With a strong personality, serious and apparently careful with a good sense, she creates a large variation of good relation with almost all people around. By her own choice she decided not to carry on and didn't take the opportunity to get a trip to Carrara and enjoy of Toscana beauties.
5- A friend has invited himself to joint me in Carrara these days and his company is a person somehow different, serious, and educated with a strong personality as well. She has some similarity to some sort of people that I can classify them as Carmen type. Although this Spanish one does not make any impression as others but for his friends and relatives is the origin one, and for me respectable for sure!
6- However, Carmen is in Carrara now and the name of Carmen refresh a lot of memories from beginning up to now and certifies to me sometimes names can make a difference to have a better reception for an unknown person! Although for everybody the first who captured the heart, is the original one. However, Carmen sounds good like rose and the name of the rose.
