Ok it's about time I asked you all for some ideas because I am now over 32weeks and still ummming and ahhhing over name choices for this baby. It's a boy, and I lost my Mum about 20months ago now, so I wanted to celebrate her by naming this baby after her in some way. Well with it being a different sex her first and middle names won't work (Sharon Elizabeth if you're curious), plus she never was keen on her own name anyway (tell me about it lol). So I came up with using her maiden name as the baby's name, it being Carter. Which got lots of shocked and OH NO reactions from the family, we're in the UK and it's not a name that's used for a first name although I know it's used in the US a bit.

However, my man really likes it, and there's nothing else that I like, so Carter it is. Then we get to middle names, and I know that it's not really neccesary but I'd like to have one, maybe something quite regular in case he hates his first name as he gets older. The only one I can think of that sounds right is John but my son's name is Harley John. I don't like the whole CJ thing either (it makes me cringe, no idea why!).

So help me to find a middle name for Carter please :D

I quite like the fact that Harley's name is originally a surname and this baby's will be as well, although I wouldn't be bothered if they didn't match either, the surname thing was kinda an after thought. Thank you all!

My initials of my first and middle name are CJ. Never done me any harm. ;)

Anyway, suggestions:

Carter Aaron
Carter Adam
Carter Benjamin
Carter Dominic
Carter Edward
Carter Sebastian
Carter Paul
Carter Lucas
Carter Luke
Carter Oliver
Carter Nicholas
Carter Nathanial
Carter Robert
Carter Thomas
Carter William

I like more traditional names, so they may not be to your taste if you like more modern ones. Hope that helped though :)
