What do you think of the name Carter for a girl? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I don't like it on any gender. I have met a girl named Carson and I don't like that either, but for a boy Carson is better than Carter.

Meh. I like it a little bit for a boy but there are better lnfn’s. On a girl I don’t really know what to say, lol. It could’ve been worse.

I really dislike it. I dislike Carter as is but particularly on a girl.

Not really a fan. I went to school with a girl named Carter. Actually it was her middle name but she couldn’t stand her first name so she went by Carter. Personally I think the name is very masculine sounding.

I wonder what her first name was that it was so bad she went by Carter. Fun fact: I knew 2 girls who went by their middle names, and I had crushes on both of them. Never met anyone else who did. Strange coincidence.

I just thought about Carter on a girl. I fell in love with this name since I saw the Disney Channel movie Princess Protection Program and Selena Gomez played a character named Carter. Since it's traditionally masculine and trendy, I wouldn't use it on a girl, but it's my guilty pleasure.

I'm not a fan, but it works fine. I know a woman named Carter who is 33. Oddly enough if she had been a boy her name would've been Kelly.

I find Carter unattractive for any gender. I think there was a joke in The Nanny Diaries about a child named Carter who turned out to be a girl. So it seems caricaturally upper class WASP or upper class WASP wannabe.

If I ever had the misfortune to meet one, I'd assume that either her parents really wanted a son or they had some relative who needed someone to be named after them so that they could bequeath their vast fortune to that child. And then I'd think that, in either case, they could surely have given the girl a fem mn which she could then go by: Carter Lilian; Carter Suzette; Carter Rose ...

It’s fineJust another surname as first name. As surnames go it has average appeal. Using it on a girl doesn’t make it any more unique lol.

Why? I just don't understand, when they are an innumerable number of great female names, why one must use a masculine name on a female?

No. Just no. For some reason I kind of like Carson for a girl.

Same. Carson gives me Emerson/Addison/Madison vibes. Carter is harsh and spiky, but Carson is warm enough that it works a bit more. It’s still teetering on the edge of being too masculine though.

No. Just, no.
Why would you even want such an unattractive occupation surname masquerading as a girl's given name?
