Might Be Changing Our Baby Name!
Jazzyashes84
member
We were set on Mason (but i've run into 5 instances this week where someone asked and said 'oh i know a baby mason' or 'oh my granddaughters name is Mason (spelled Maesyn)')
And it was #3 on the 2011 list that just came out.
Anyway, my top name has been Carson, but my DH liked Mason better. Well now he's kind of leaning on my side because we think it'd at least be less popular.
Austin is in the running too, but at #3
Thoughts??TTC#2: 8/17/14 // BFP: 9/5/14
TTC#1: 7/30/11 // BFP: 8/22/11
DS: Carson Robert 4/29/12

Re: Might Be Changing Our Baby Name!
mason is somewhat popular but i feel like everyone has something to say about a name...like who they know with that name....bla bla bla...
that's why my names are hush hush...if mason is your fav....GO FOR IT....you don't know this other MAYSEN ?! you have to LOVE The name ...that's most important:) don't compromise!! speaking of which i don't know any babies with the first name Mason and a lot of my friends are popping out the babies!!
I personally don't like Mason, but it has become very popular, especially in our town. Two of my friends have boys named Mason.
And every time I hear it, I always think of Mason jars for canning food...
I think Carson is a cute name though...and I don't really hear it (actually I have never met a Carson) very much.
This reminds me of when I was pregnant with DD. We were set on using Sophie for most of our pregnancy, but heard about more and more Sophies/Sophias being born. We reconsidered and ended up naming DD Olivia, which we thought was less popular, but turns out to be the TOP name where we live, and Sophie didn't even crack the top ten most popular. Our family that knew our decision making process thought it was pretty funny.
Anyway, I think I prefer Carter, but it's also more popular than Mason where I am.
I was just going to suggest that name! It's the frontrunner on our list right now.
Mason is such a 'bleh' name to me. I think I've heard it too much and the parents I know how have Masons are not my favorite.
Carson is an OK name, but definitely prefer Carter.
Good luck!
Oh my gosh! I didn't even realize I said Carter when OP was talking about Carson. Ok, OP, out of Carson and Mason I prefer Carson. But out of Carson and Carter (in case you're curious) I prefer Carter.
I used to love Mason too, so I hear ya! I think Kourtney Kardashian has now made the name explode... Kind of like Emma - another name I used to love - was popularized by "Friends".
Carson has the same ending sound as Mason, so I would think if you liked the sound of Mason with your middle and last name it would be a good substitute. Good luck! This baby naming part is the toughest for me!
Thoughts? You have lots of time. You may even change your mind yet a few times.
RE: the names? Love Carson, don't care for Mason.
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.
