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

Sorry, another USM here. Agree with FairLady though, Noah is lovely.

FairLadyRantALot · 27/01/2009 22:35

Well, one of my favourite ER characters is called Carter....but it is a very american name...but tbh...I kinda like it....however, I love the actors "real" name even more, which is Noah

I've just had a little boy and there was a babyon the same ward with this name, but I havent come across it before then.

MrsMattie · 27/01/2009 19:08

piratecat · 27/01/2009 18:33

TsarChasm · 27/01/2009 18:32

Get Carter is a quite grim film with Michael Cain.

squeaver · 27/01/2009 18:32

What about Curtis?

squeaver · 27/01/2009 18:31

I know a boy called Carter. Whenever I tell anyone his name they go "eh?".

janeite · 27/01/2009 18:30

USM is all I can think of.

Sorry - I LOVE Carter USm but I don't like Carter as a name at all.

Isn't it a film too - "Get Carter" or something?

LaDiDaDi · 27/01/2009 18:23

USM is all I can say.

chandellina · 27/01/2009 15:37

most names started out as surnames.

i knew one at school.

great name.

chancelloroftheexchequers · 26/01/2009 19:28

USM here as well.

mileniwmffalcon · 26/01/2009 19:28

ditto USM

bluebump · 26/01/2009 19:27

Yes Carter USM comes to mind for me too!

elderlyprimagravida · 26/01/2009 19:25

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

elderlyprimagravida · 26/01/2009 19:25

As in "the unstoppable sex machine"?

weepootleflump · 26/01/2009 19:23

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

piximon · 26/01/2009 19:09

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.

Pinkmarshmallow · 26/01/2009 18:55

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

Ashantai · 26/01/2009 16:55

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

LuLuBai · 26/01/2009 16:44

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

thumbwitch · 26/01/2009 01:28

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).
