Carter for Girl

JesseKhloe&Me · June 2013

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 · June 2013

Horrible. I don't like it at all.

BootsyLou · June 2013

Strongly dislike

cinderin · June 2013

I don't like it.

+ASH+ · June 2013

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 · June 2013

I hate it.

SuperMom17 · June 2013

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

Mochadoodle · June 2013

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

mackenzie0212 · June 2013

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

Dr.Loretta · June 2013

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

evaazalea · June 2013

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

this.

sunlavender · June 2013

I'm not really a fan.

AmyMA53 · June 2013

I hate Carter as a girl name.

Lady Leigh · June 2013

hate it

camedowncrushing · June 2013

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

rolIo · June 2013

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 · June 2013

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 · June 2013

Horrible.

crwel1048 · June 2013

Definitely not a fan of using it for a girl.

CartersMommy28 · June 2013

My sons name is carter so to me its weird.

BulgariHeart · June 2013

Nope, not on a girl. Only on boys.

Mae208 · June 2013

No

JemmaWRX · June 2013

Really hate it.

Zimger · June 2013

Carter is all boy imo.

thegoodpotato · June 2013

Yuck.

Boy's names should be used on boys.

rlyttle · June 2013

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

nearly_klo · June 2013

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!

inthelost · June 2013

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)

danabsd · June 2013

NO. Just no.

JackieA2013 · June 2013

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