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

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.

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

Carter USM for anyone over a certain age!

NaturalBornThreadKiller · 26/01/2009 00:35

shamen is not,

twentypence · 26/01/2009 00:27

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

minouminou · 26/01/2009 00:25

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

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

Wonderstuff · 26/01/2009 00:08

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

saphron · 26/01/2009 00:06

Jimmie - ex president?

cece · 25/01/2009 23:42

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

BlackEyedDogstar · 25/01/2009 23:40

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

Tinker · 25/01/2009 23:39

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

plonker · 25/01/2009 23:35

I think its awful. JMO obv.

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.

sounds like the head of the east end mafia
