Carter

[Cartwrightandson]

Thoughts?

Having a lovely evening with my old Carter USM tracks thanks to this thread and reliving my youth 😄

I think these are hard to pull off in the Uk, like Cooper. It’s just try hard.

My first thought too! Not ideal for a child. Or anyone, really.

Not one of my favourites but I don’t hate it.

It’s my surname .. when I was young a lot of children delighted in calling me carter farter …

Sorry I don't like it

Dreadful

I like it. ( one of my imaginary friends when I was small was called Carter 😂) but I decided against it for my DS because I thought it was too American and a little bit chav. But if I met I Carter I would think ahh maybe I should have used that name!

What about
Cosmo
Jasper
Kerien
Griffin

Use it OP. It's tough asking feedback on baby names on here as people don't state their own age.

Maybe they often prefer the name Keith, as that's what they're used to?

Love Carter. I'm 31.

You'd ask my grandmother for her feedback and she'd say 'oh that's god awful, how about Gary instead?'

Very council estate. And I was raised on one so I would know.

I am 22 (adding my age to satisfy an above poster, I certainly don't like Keith or Gary)

Not keen. Wasn't there a Carter in some idiotic American cartoon? But I agree that, like Cooper, it sounds try-hard in the UK.

I had a student called Carter and he and his family were lovely. Brother had a surname type name too.

You're a charm.

John is a toilet. Or a man who uses sex workers.

Silly argument.

Are you ok?

Carter USM I wouldn't 🤣

My wee boys called Carter and I love it 💙

Or Sharter, please don't do that to your child

I like it. I like other surname as first names too. Can't imagine many kids born now will know about an obscure band from 30 years ago.

For you, maybe. I think it's a valid reason for not liking the name.

Well I’m 34 and think it’s quite a bad name. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby name thread this heavily negative! I’ve certainly heard worse but as PP have said it’s a touch chavvy.

A big no. Sorry, but you did ask!

The only Carter I know is a little sh*t, so no!

Yes doing well thanks. I suppose you’re leaving sassy replies because you’re blessed with a profession first name, or called Carter? Remember opinions are like bumholes, everybody has them.

My nearly 13 year old is Carter and has never once been called Farter by his peers.

We're British but not in UK, and DH is Scottish so both our boys have surnames for first names.

I love it obviously ❤️
