Carter is taking the last-name-as-first-name thing too far. And what would his nickname be? Car? Cart? Heh. It also means a person who pushes things around in a cart, so the meaning of the name is not exactly spectacular.
Blake will always and forever sounds like an old soap opera character to me, snobby and pretentious.
I've only seen Connor spelled with the double n.
And I HATE Jace. hate hate hate. Is it supposed to be some creative short form for Jason? Or what? Yuck.
Otherwise, those names are all perfectly fine. I like Benjamin, William, Luke best. Yeah, I'm boring. Caleb is great but it's getting pretty popular, and Seth is growing on me, although I wouldn't use it myself.
I know a few Carter's. Nice name. I like Cole, though on other kids, not my own for some reason LOL Benjamin is nice, Conner too (I like the 'er' ending, looks a lot less like a last name (O'Connor)). I like a bunch of them, but wanted to comment on those.
some of them are too trendy for me - mainly the cole/carter/conor/logan/blake thing. luke is my favorite, and seth is okay too. jace is strange, i dont like it one bit.
