Unisex Name Opinion

Newmommy3911 · November 2014

We have a 7 year old, Olivia Hope and a 3 year old Avery Grace and are TTC #3. Our boy name has always been Carter Bryant. This will be our last baby and Am thinking of using Carter regardless, specifically Carter Faith for a girl. Thoughts?

No.

Love Carter for a boy, despise for a girl. It's not unisex, it's just a boy name on a girl.

I've seen it used for girls, but I definitely think it's wayyy better for a boy.

DaisyZH · November 2014

I really don't like it for a girl. Faith is nice though.

Nope.

Definitely a boy name.

No no no. It's not pretty on a girl. FX it's a boy for you so you can appropriately use the name

I know someone that named their daughter Carter and I just can't get on board. Sorry

My opinion is that "unisex" is one of the most misused words in the English language. Carter suits a girl like Olivia suits a boy. If it has meaning to you, use it as a MN for a girl if you must. If not, then let it go already. It is not a nice name for a girl.

No. Just no.

Carter is not unisex.

Our other top choice for a girl name is Stella Faith (Stella is a family name).

I like last names as first names on girls, if there is a family connection. If Carter is a family name, I have no problems using it on a girl. If you just picked it with no connection to your family whatsoever, I'd reconsider using Stella. On the other hand, Faith makes a lovely first name and Faith Carter can work on a girl.

No. Carter is all boy.
Name your dog carter!

Stella is great.

I love Stella, but I cannot support Carter for a girl. Keep Stella!

I dislike Stella, a lot. I actually think Carter could work for a girl. The new "boy as a girl's name" is quite popular now. Ex: Wyatt for Ashton's baby. Therefore, Carter might be popular for a girl in 5 years, so you could start the "Carter for a girl" trend.
