Not a big fan of Carson. It really does fit that two-syllable -son trend that’s been going on for a while. Doesn’t really have a positive meaning and just seems like a surname used to fit a trend. Also, it just “seems young” to me, like Cooper or Carter. I know there are older Carsons (Carson Wentz, Carson Daly) but it still seems a bit out of place on an adult imho.

I can think of one: Dorothea — used to think it tried too hard to be “hipster trendy,” but now I appreciate it for its complex sound and positive meaning. Same for Ophelia.

I like it. It is a guilty pleasure on a girl, but I would actually consider it for a boy.

I like the sound enough so can see the appeal but it's a surname and that makes me dislike it.

My taste has completely changed in ways. I used to like a lot of surnames (Emerson, Carter) that I'd never use now. At one point those two names were my top names. I used to hate girl names ending in -a, but now it seems most of the names I like do. I think there's your personal classics, names you'll always love, but as with anything else, taste changes as you mature.

Does it date me to say I think of Carson Daly? I'm not a fan of it. It sounds whiny to me and all I hear is "arson".

I kinda like it. It reminds me of Carson McCullers, the author.

I’ve been liking Leonard a lot more lately. For a long time it just seemed like the stodgiest, ugliest name ever but now I think it’s quite handsome.

Hi !!!!

Carson is a surname imo.

---

This name is only linked with a Downton Abbey character in my mind. Here Charles Carson "Mr Carson" is the butler of an aristocratic British family.

I love this Tv series and I like that character but I would never use it as given name..maybe on a pet but I have better names and links.
