The name Carter?

[AmusedZebra]

Possibly Carter Matthew.

Last name starts with an A.

Opinions?

Sorry, adding to the other awfuls. I don’t have good associations.

It's hideous for a girl. Poor her.

Absolutely so! I know a Carter and every one of his relatives, and his parents, are prone to the use of glottal stops and pronounce it "Car-er - it makes me wince every single time I hear it. Just dreadful.

I like it

Carter the unstoppable sex machine? Will also be known as 'farter''carter the farter' or questions about what the Christian name is as Carter is a surname. What are your second and third choices? What other things do you like so we can suggest some ideas?

Or the inimitable Shirley Carter.

God, yes. Having major nostalgia here.

i think I just don’t like job surnames as first names — Carter, Hunter, Cooper, Smith etc.

The unstoppable sex machine

To me, Carter is a doing word. One who carts.

Not a fan of surnames as first names. And reminds me of Get Carter too.

It’s not a bad name but because of the film “Get Carter” there is an unavoidable association with violence and gangsters.

People will forever think you’re writing surname then first name.

I really like it; depends on your local accent though as to whether anyone would pronounce the T, and how much it would bother you if they don’t.

Please add Proofreader to your list.

That's a very good point. I did a bit of exam invigilation and I remember one exam being held up for what seemed like ages because a girl had a daft first name and a surname like Douglas and she was down as a boy, and no one could find this Douglas Carter (or whatever it was).

Awful, low class ... but if that's what you're going for, as for thinking a girl might like being called Carter, just no....

Matthew is lovely though!

Awful. They are so many names to pick from, but Carter is hideous
