Though still sweetly rare—about eight newborns claimed it in the US in 2024, landing near rank 942—it’s steadily waltzing its way into loving families. She feels strong yet graceful, a vibrant spirit with wings ready to soar. Every Carlena seems destined to paint her own path with bold colors and brave dreams.
