What do you think to Carrick for a boy?

[mummyruston]

Opinions please...

OH wants Blake, I want Jude or even Jasper

But heard the name Carrick and thinking possible.

My daughter is named Evelyn and pronounced Eva-Lin (not eve-Lin)

A bit unusual. Sorry not my cup of tea. To me it sounds too much like you're saying "carrot"

 

[Eleanor ace]

I like it

 

[mummyruston]

OH has said no way

 

[cherrylips100]

Jasper and Evelyn sound nice together

theres a place near me called carrick knowe so that assosiation puts me off. your daughter has a beautiful name x

 

[cupcakekate]

I like Blake x

 

[staralfur]

I don't really care for it. I really like Jude.

I think Carrick is the name of a character in the series The Hunger Games....just something else to think about!

Jude is actually on my list as well! It's a lovely name! Blake is cute as well but it's a tad more popular (I don't know if popularity matters to you or not).

 

[mummyruston]

Yes I'm not one for popularity. I liked Evelyn as I love old names and OH loves a story by James Joyce with an Evelyn in and in the stats for her year of birth it wasn't in top 50 and I only know Evies.

Boys names are very tricky! I like older names and think you kind of have to have a flow with other child for #2

 

[mummyruston]

Only concern with jasper....

Recently found out one if my neighbours has a dog makes jasper!!!

I love Jude and Jasper but Carrick isn't for me.

 

[ellahopesky]

reminds me of fifty shades but i quite like it x

 

[Rhio92]

I think it's nice x

 

[mummyruston]

OH completely vetoed. Think we've finally agreed on Jasper Alexander if a boy.

 

[xprincessx]

Blake and Jude are both lovely but sorry I am with your OH on Carrick...just not for me at all

Out of all those suggestions, I like Blake the best.
