Carter?

[ditsydoll]

For a boy?
I like Ethan but Dh has decided he likes carter and I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.
Any opinions?

It's not to my taste. I do know a Carter though.

yep totally agree Unstoppable Sex Machine.....brilliant band though

What is it with people who use surnames as first names?? Carter is a surname.

It's traditional in Scotland to give the first born son his mothers maiden name as his first name. Second born sons are often given the maiden name of other leading women in the family.
It's a very long tradition. How do you think Scottish surnames such as Cameron and Stuart came to be first names that are so widely used?

I love it! It is not too popular either. I think of the film 'coach carter' when I hear it, I would go for it.

carter the unstoppable sex machine is what came to my mind instantly

Not my cup of tea. Know one in RL and he is very naughty which puts me off!

Am I the only one who had never heard of Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine?? Was that a TV show? Ad? I still think its a fab name!

I have no clue who 'Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine' is either onedev. I just asked DP (if it's a comic/cult reference he'd know it) and he gave me The Look that tells me I'm asking stupid questions before pointing at himself

ConfusedPixie i have no idea who it is

Is that a band??

Yes, British indie band in late 80s/early 90s. Kind of a forerunner to Pulp, Blur, Oasis, et al, but much, much cooler.

Very mixed reviews but you can't please everyone :)
Never heard of carter usm myself and I doubt any of dcs generation would so that doesn't put me off.
I will more than likely use it as a middle name but you never know ds might come out just looking like a Carter ;)
Iv still got 8 weeks left so we shall see

Ha! Definitely Carter USM. coincidently I was listening to 30 Something in the car yesterday
