carson
origin: American
meaning: Christian
Another last-name-turned-first, this one comes over from the Scots. After over a century in the 500 to 800 range, the name took a big jump from the ’80s (average ranking 583) to the ’90s (282). It’s spiked even further since then, and looks to still be heading up the charts. Celebs like Carson Kressley (former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy stylist), Carson Palmer (NFL quarterback), and Carson Daly (TV host) have definitely helped the name keep its edge.
current U.S. popularity rank: 2010: 89

by becky052385Top of our list for baby if it's a boy. We like "Carson Cole" Still a while before we find out sex of the baby, but we love this name!

by pinkgirl198426I love the name Carson! We are having a boy and naming him David...after my husband. Carson will be our daughter's name...whenever she makes an appearance :)
by CEBandDAOMy oldest son is Carson! Love it!
by BabyDavis2My name is Carson and I'm a girl. My parents regretted early on not spelling my name Karsyn but I love my name because it's unique and people rarely forget my name because it's special. I've had the usual mix ups but I would never change my name!
by carsonandscottyAlso, my middle name is Claire if anyone is looking for a middle name suggestion.. (: I think it flows nicely.
by karsonminceyMy name is Karson with a "K" and I'm a female. I hated my name for a long time because kids in school would tell me I had a boy name or that it was spelled wrong, but as an adult, I like it and I get more compliments on it now. But honestly, as a Karson, I hate hate hate finding that people are spelling it all kinds of crazy ways. It's the most annoying thing in the world to me. Carson is a lovely name by itself and you have to consider many things when choosing a name for your child. If you want to change it up a bit, that's your choice. But I think nice names should only be changed a little. Like, only change one letter. Karsynn and Karrsen are just waaay too silly.
by karsonminceyi love this name. My sons name is Carson! :)
by CarsonsMommy01I love spelling it "Karsyn" for a girl! :)
by mandylandrumMy great grandpa's name was Karl Carson. They called him KC (or Casey) for short, which is where my name comes from. I like the idea of naming my son Carson because it would be like naming him after me! To top if off, my due date is my great grandpa's birthday!!! I think it's a sign :)
by MrsLindinger0905My baby girl is Karson Paige :)
