OK as a surname, dreadful as a first name.

Horrible

Hatty65 · 24/08/2024 19:13

Only if you are American can you get away with this.

Kitkat1523 · 24/08/2024 19:16

Really bad….harsh, ugly…..not even a nice surname

HarpieDuJour · 24/08/2024 19:17

I'm quite old, so it makes me think of Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine. So probably not for me as a baby name.

sel2223 · 24/08/2024 19:17

I know a little Carter and he's adorable!

3peassuit · 24/08/2024 19:18

I’m not a fan of surnames as first names. How about Christopher instead?

soymilknosugar · 24/08/2024 19:18

I like it

Completely agree. See also Parker, Hunter, etc.

BabaYetu · 24/08/2024 19:18

I quite like it. But I had a massie crush on (John) Carter from er, so I have very good associations with it.

MrsSkylerWhite · 24/08/2024 19:19

Get Carter. Jim Carter. Sorry, it’s a surname.

Catlord · 24/08/2024 19:19

Doesn't work as a first name for me, sorry. I've heard it used and it's not the worst thing I've ever come across but there are much nicer ideas out there

happyhemsby · 24/08/2024 19:20

Love it

Itsmeamandaberry · 24/08/2024 19:33

I know three one a teenaged, one eight years old and one who is six. All little brats so it's no from me

MrsMoastyToasty · 24/08/2024 19:36

It's a job title. A person who drives a horse drawn cart.

Agree

So obviously an American name.

strangeandfamiliar · 24/08/2024 19:39

It would be a no from me anyway, but I'm also of the age where it makes me think of the band.

Skybluepinky · 24/08/2024 19:41

Def not unless u want them to be known as the unstoppable sex machine.

Weefreetiffany · 24/08/2024 19:45

Eh its a grim american fashion to be so obsessed with capitalism that you call your child after a profession instead of giving them a name.

shoopshoopdedoo · 24/08/2024 19:47

I don’t like it at all

GoldenLegend · 24/08/2024 19:56

No. Why would you when there are loads of lovely names to choose from.

TheCryingTheBitchAndTheFloordrobe · 24/08/2024 19:58

No
