Baby Names

-or/-er names

DH keeps suggesting names that end in -er or -or (such as Piper and Connor).  I am worried that they will not sound right with our last name which is similar to Carter.  What do you think?

Re: -or/-er names

  • Overall, I don't like the sound of the double -er endings.  Maybe you could find an exception, but I'm not a fan.  Our ln ends with a y, and I don't like any y, ie, ee, etc... ending names.  Just too rhymey for me!

    I guess with a two syllable first name like Piper or Connor then it does sound a little rhymey with the last name Carter.  But, I don't see any problem with a 3 syllable name ending in -or, like Eleanor. 

    I totally agree.

  • Yeah....you're going to have to point out that Piper Carter isn't a good name, and point him in the direction of the thousands of names that don't end in --er.
