Me and DH are having trouble naming our son - I liked Ashton he doesn’t, he likes Carter but I’m not sold on it.

Therefore (frustratingly!), we may go back to the drawing board, I’m asking for help - what do you think of these names?

And also, does anyone have any other suggestions of one or two syllable names?

Thanks!

Both are surnames, so maybe something like Hudson, Hunter, Casey, Dexter, Baxter, Cooper, Chester, Lincoln, Asher?

I don't particularly like that style of name.
