Okay, so I posted a while ago that I had decided to name this baby [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] if it’s a girl and [name]Everett[/name] nn Rett [name]Adam[/name] if it’s a boy. I’ve loved [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] for a long time but I’m just not absolutely in love with [name]Everett[/name]/Rett still. I haven’t came across any other boy names that I like until today, when [name]Carter[/name] stuck out to me. DH hates [name]Carter[/name], but he is pretty wishy-washy with names and I have a feeling he can be convinced, especially if I find the right combo. I also have a stepson named [name]Bentley[/name], and while his name is nmsaa, I don’t want to completely clash with his name, either. I think [name]Carter[/name] and [name]Bentley[/name] go together a lot better than [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Bentley[/name].What do you think about my [name]Everett[/name]/Rett vs. [name]Carter[/name] dilemma? Also, I am very desperate for middle name suggestions for [name]Carter[/name]. Our last name is two syllables so I’d really prefer a 1 or 3 syllable middle name. Thank you so much for your help, berries!
I think [name]Carter[/name] is one of those names that will sound really dated in a few years. It kind of jumped up in the 90’s & 2000’s and is likely hitting it’s peak popularity. I also think of it as rather ‘blah’ and likely to get thrown in with the surname/occupation name trend of recent. [name]Everett[/name], however, has a rich history and has remained rather steady on the U.S. SSA list between the 200th and the 600th spot for the past 50 years or so. It hit it’s peak during the turn of the century, so it has a kind of rich, old-world feel to it. Personally, I’d rather see you use [name]Everett[/name].
I really love both names! For me though, [name]Everett[/name] wins slightly. I’m not the biggest fan of the nn though. I love [name]Everett[/name] on it’s own!
Myself I prefer [name]Carter[/name]
as for a middle name hmm …
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Everett[/name] ( get the best of both names)

I’m going to against majority here and I say I much prefer [name]Carter[/name]. I’ve loved that name for a while and I agree that it sounds better with [name]Bentley[/name].
