What do you think? Obviously for a boy. Have 2 dc already, with Irish surnames beginning with B, and thought that Carson would fit in nicely.

But lstwo, you did say "it's up to you what you would like to call your child". The OP was 11 months ago so presumably the baby has been born by now.

capstone- I didn't know there was a time limit on threads?

mopsyflopsy · 30/05/2010 10:59

I don't like it much, I'm afraid. I prefer Karsten (have a German friend called this).

florencerusty · 30/05/2010 10:54

I know one, don't like it though

pitterpatterfeet · 29/05/2010 20:57

no don't like surnames as first names

sedgiebaby · 29/05/2010 20:35

I like it

capstone · 29/05/2010 19:51

This thread is nearly a year old.

Carson is a lovely name. It's different from the norm. Personalities define people. My son is called Carson and he is nearly four. He couldn't be called anything else- it suits him so well. Choosing a name is personal to the parents so it's up to you what you would like to call your child!

If the others are Irish names, why not Ciaran, Cathal or Connor, if you want a C name. Or Calum if you want some Scottish variation. Or Eamonn, Ronan, Finbarr/Fionnbharr or Dara for some other letters?

janeite · 13/06/2009 22:23

Sorry, don't like Carson.

And Callahan is awful imho - sounds like Caliban.

starmucks · 12/06/2009 20:48

Not sure about Carson. What about Callahan? Can be Cal for short.

screamingabdab · 12/06/2009 20:38

Caolan ?

barnsleybelle · 12/06/2009 20:27

Don't like it. Colm is a nice Irish name beginning with C..

SoupDragon · 12/06/2009 20:27

It has arse in the middle.

screamingabdab · 12/06/2009 20:25

No way (sorry)

But then I don't normally like surname names, with a few exceptions

Any other ideas?

sonniboo · 12/06/2009 10:42

I like Carsten (Germanic name)!

goomum · 12/06/2009 10:37

yuck

What about Carter?

womma · 11/06/2009 22:53

No no no

poshtottie · 11/06/2009 21:20

mummyisamonster, yes, I knew I had heared it before. Queer eye for the straight guy was the programme. I loved Carson.

EachPeachPearMum · 11/06/2009 21:15

Karsten is nicer...

HellHathNoFury · 11/06/2009 21:06

it's fine... not feeling love nor hate tbh

cookie100 · 11/06/2009 21:06

Me neither, don't like it.

janeite · 11/06/2009 20:53

I don't like it at all, sorry.
