Picking out a name for our offspring is a genuinely surreal experience. It's a balancing act and guessing game all in one. Not too yuppie, not too wimpy, not so common that everyone on the playground has it, but not so rare that it freaks everyone out (I love the name "Blue", btw - I knew a girl with that name). Plus, there's the monogram issue and getting just the right syllabic cadence. "Carter" just popped into my head one day and sounded just right.

Having a name like "Green" has always been of inestimable comedic value to friends and foes alike, especially when you reverse the names like you say, and use an old-school synonymous name for "Richard". Plenty of Junior High School hilarity from that one!
