Is it permissible to be named Karla?
It is not permissible to be named "Carla" because it involves imitating disbelievers, as it is one of their common names and not among the widespread names of Muslims. The basic principle in naming is permissibility, but a name is prohibited if it is exclusive to disbelievers or transgressors due to the reason of imitation.
