Frankie Bridge has had her second son and named him Carter. I googled it and came up with this bridge in Lagos:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carter_Bridge

Any thoughts? I'm not keen myself.

I really like Carter. Not with Bridge though

PerfectlyPosed · 26/08/2015 15:49

No worse than Parker Bridge...

Doublebubblebubble · 26/08/2015 16:44

I really like Carter - I really like Parker too.. Agree that it doesn't really go that well with "Bridge" though. They like it, that's all that matters really x

PamPoovey · 26/08/2015 16:45

It's awful. In the same way that Parker is awful.

Parker and Carter. Yuck.

thatstoast · 26/08/2015 16:46

I like Carter. I don't think it's that bad with bridge. Is Frankie Bridge in the Saturdays?

thatstoast · 26/08/2015 16:48

Oh I see, she also has a son called Parker. Parker Bridge is much worse.

Tiggeryoubastard · 26/08/2015 16:50

I've not a clue who this is but why have they named their poor children after pre refurbishment Toby Inns? Just why would iundonthat?

Squooshed · 26/08/2015 16:50

Awful names.

But she was bonkers to change her own name from Frankie Sandford to Frankie Bridge.

Tiggeryoubastard · 26/08/2015 16:53

I meant to say 'why would you do that?'.

Palomb · 26/08/2015 16:55

Terrible.

The poor kids sounds like landmarks.

Wishful80smontage · 26/08/2015 16:56

I'm not keen on the sibling names together sounds a tad daft but their choice.

SallyStarbuck · 26/08/2015 16:56

They are a little rhyme-y, aren't they?

The test of whether a name is too similar to someone else's is if you stand at the bottom of the stairs and bellow it, how many people come running?

IsabellaofFrance · 26/08/2015 16:59

They both sound like tube stations, or accounting firms.

FrogSong · 26/08/2015 19:40

Really dislike both names and especially together but if they like them!

LibrariesGaveUsP0wer · 26/08/2015 21:09

Not my taste, but Carter and Parker are awfully rhymey together. Also agree Carter Bridge sounds like a US landmark.

LibrariesGaveUsP0wer · 26/08/2015 21:10

Sally - none in my family. Unless I add some form of threat or bribe

goldglittershitter · 26/08/2015 21:12

Nice names individually, not for siblings n NOT with the surname Bridge. It's their choice of course but it doesn't seem terribly well considered.

SallyStarbuck · 27/08/2015 09:39

SquirrelledAway · 27/08/2015 09:46

At least they didn't go for Brooklynn.

SquirrelledAway · 27/08/2015 09:47

Or Brooklyn even.

I used to work with a man called Carter. His nickname was Farter. Farter Carter.

PageStillNotFound404 · 28/08/2015 14:31

It sounds very...placename-y.

Squooshed · 28/08/2015 14:37

But not a beautilul or noteworthy place.
