People vote please!!!

Carter or Dylan

Surname is 1 syllable and literally any name goes with it

Dylan

Dylan is lovely. I don't really get the "profession/surname as first name" thing personally (Tyler/Tiler, Taylor/Tailor, Mason etc) but I don't think Carter has a particular nice sound either. Maybe Clark instead if you want to go down that route?

DramaAlpaca · 21/09/2021 20:12

Dylan is nice.

Carter is awful, sorry.

Dylan. I don't normally bother about the meanings of names but with Carter the meaning is so literal. Everytime i hear it i picture some guy humphing round a laden cart.

carolinesbaby · 21/09/2021 18:07

Dylan.
Carter is a person who drives a cart.

Dylan, Carter I always think of as an American name and I'm not keen.

Wolfiefan · 21/09/2021 16:55

Dylan. Really don’t like Carter.

HelplessAndLost · 21/09/2021 16:52

I know a gazillion Dylans so I’d choose Carter.

MsTSwift · 21/09/2021 16:45

I really don’t like Carter also Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine would kill that one stone dead

Sexnotgender · 21/09/2021 16:43

Dylan. Really don’t like Carter.

GemmaRuby · 21/09/2021 16:39

Dylan.
I never understand occupation names personally, why would you want your child to have a name that literally means someone who transports goods in carts?

Carter!

Gemandi2 · 21/09/2021 14:35

Deffo Dylan but you have to be happy with that name forever so whatever you end up choosing will be lovely x

Lockdownbear · 21/09/2021 14:18

Both good but I really like Dylan.

Cooper88 · 21/09/2021 14:17

I like both equally but would probably go with Dylan.

Angel2702 · 21/09/2021 14:14
