Carter
I named one of my characters Carter and I fell in love with it, but I noticed that Carter is not a very common first name. What is your opinion?

Carter's quite popular as a first name.If it wasn't, it wouldn't have been in the top 100 for boys last year.I don't like it, personally. If I had to use a surname-as-first-name in the same vein, I'd go with Carson (and it's all Carson-of-Queer-Eye's fault!). Overall, I'd much rather use a surname that actually came from my family tree, though.Array

I think it's bland and non-descript. I know one person named Carter.

I know of 2 recently born babies named Carter - used as a boys name.I know one 18-yr old girl named Carter. Her mom is Southern and it is their tradition to name the daugher by the mother's maiden name. I didn't care for it at first, but it sure seems to fit her.

Carter is a surnameAnd I don't care much for surnames as fn. I prefer more classic names."But it’s all right now.

I mostly think surname when I hear it, and I can't say I like it, sorry.

I don't know any Carters. It's mostly known as a last name, but I do like it as a first name!
