Carter for Girl

JesseKhloe&Me

We watched Princess Protection Program last night on Disney and the main character was Carter, a teenage girl played by Selena Gomez. I thought it fit her well and didn't seem odd or boyish.
You would have to pair it with a super girly middle name, but I like it. WDYT?

I don't particularly like it. I mean I can see it being kind of cute on a toddler/kid/teen but I don't see the name Carter aging well into adulthood.

MrsC731

Horrible. I don't like it at all.

BootsyLou

Strongly dislike 

cinderin

I don't like it.

I love it, but I'll be in the minority. 

A friend has a niece named Carter Jane (they call her by her full name) and I think it's adorable!

I'm not a big fan, but maybe with the right middle name it could work.

WashingtonQueen

I hate it.

SuperMom17

I actually don't hate this one, but I don't think Sawyer sounds bad on a girl either.

I agree with this..........I don't see it aging well for a boy either. It sounds very babyish all the way around

I don't even like it on a boy. It's terrible on a girl.

I love this for a girl. I like carter Rae, carter rose, or carter grace

Dr.Loretta

Not a fan. She'd be confused with a boy her whole life

I don't like it at all but can see how a beautiful young actress can pull it off.

I'm not really a fan.

 I hate Carter as a girl name. 

Lady Leigh

hate it

I really like it.  I know a woman in her late 20's named Carter, and I have always loved it.

I dislike the name Carter, even more so on a girl. I wouldn't pair a typical male name with something super feminine (Carter Sophia sounds ridiculous) I would pair it with something simple like Ann or Mae.

arizonatea

I don't hate it. I think Carter Joann is actually a really nice name 'cause then it would be Carter Jo : you just have to be careful picking a MN

Mrs.G123

Horrible.

crwel1048

Definitely not a fan of using it for a girl.

My sons name is carter so to me its weird.

BulgariHeart

Nope, not on a girl. Only on boys.

Mae208

No

JemmaWRX

Really hate it.

Zimger

Carter is all boy imo.

thegoodpotato

Yuck.

Boy's names should be used on boys. 

rlyttle

I love boy names for girls!! If DS was a girl, he would have been Parker Elizabeth. 

nearly_klo

It's all boy for me.

I've never seen this show.nbsp; Disney has a large history of using boy names on girls.nbsp; I don't like it at all on a girl, not one little bit. Even if you put a super girly name with it it sounds odd.Carter Elizabeth?Carter Victoria?nbsp;Everything I can think of sounds horrid .

I love both those options! I love boy names on girls and this one is great. I know a 3 year old girl with this name and it suits her well...she is adorable!

horrible. just horrible!

Just playing devil's advocate here but if she weren't "adorable" or lets say she goes through an awkward phase when she gets older - is it still so cute to saddler her with a name like that?

I dislike the idea that it's "cute" to put a masculine name on a girl and it works because she'll be "pretty" (this is not directed at you but at the trend as a whole)

NO. Just no.

I like it, but I know a little girl named Carter.
