Carter?

[honerajules]

For a ds what do you think?
Is this popular at the moment as I want something unique.

[Tortington]

sounds like the head of the east end mafia

[Heated]

Was reading a school magazine yesterday that had two Carters (secondary school pupils), I enjoyed reading it because of the sheer number of 'distinctive names' including Asia-Jade, Colton, Sher-Vaughn and Tyfannie and I have a feeling Carter could well be grouped in with them. Sorry.

[plonker]

I think its awful. JMO obv.

[Tinker]

No, it's not popular because it's a job-title and not a baby's name

[BlackEyedDogstar]

oh I like this name but someone ran this thread a while ago and the conclusion was that Carter is Trying Too Hard.

You'll get no joy here honer

[cece]

as in the ...the unstoppable sex machine!? er no...

[saphron]

Jimmie - ex president?

[Wonderstuff]

LOL cece that is exactly what I thought when I saw the thread - USM!! (we're showing our age no?)

[NoNickname]

Wonderstuff - your NN gives away your age - and the Unstoppable Sex Machine is the first thinkg I thought of too.

[minouminou]

we should chuck in a shamen and a james while we're at it!

[twentypence]

I don't mind Carter - I have heard a lot worse.

[NaturalBornThreadKiller]

james is cool,

shamen is not,

[snice]

Carter USM for anyone over a certain age!

[thumbwitch]

don't like it - reminds me of one of the Rude Mechanicals in a Midsummer Night's Dream.

[expatinscotland]

is a surname. not a forename.

there's a haunted plantation in Virginia that is still owned by the Carter family. it's called Shirley Plantation.

i visited it once, some 26 years ago.

think plantations are just a nasty American, slave thing they dreamed up? well, you thought wrong.

your good ol' Tudor/Stewart King James I dreamed them and made 'em a reality in Ulster/Northern Ireland to keep those pesky Irish in check.

so don't name your kid after history like that.

[mummythemousekiller]

not for me. to me it is a surname.

[thumbwitch]

of course, when I say a Midsummer Night's Dream, what I really mean is Terry Pratchett's take on it in Lords and Ladies (I think).

[LuLuBai]

My first thought was the unstoppable sex machine too. You never know, he might like that tag when he reaches a certain age.

[Ashantai]

I dont think of it as a surname, its quite nice actually

[Pinkmarshmallow]

To me, Carter is a surname and I don't like surnames used as first names. Sorry.

[piximon]

I know a little boy called Carter, he's absolutely gorgeous and the only one with the name I've come across so far. I like it.

[weepootleflump]

I think USM as well. There is a little boy Carter lives in my street- have never really liked it.

[elderlyprimagravida]

As in "the unstoppable sex machine"?

[elderlyprimagravida]

Oops - sorry Snice - am clearly in that age bracket!!
