Whoever wrote #2, God bless you. We should meet, as it's all true :) Whoever wrote #5, it's hysterical. There's some truth in #6 as well. Pretty good description actually.

Carson is a name that's always been pretty unique. Recently it's become more popular, ala Carsons Daily and Palmer. It's a name of Western origin primarily, made famous by Kit Carson, the early American Western scout.

Growing up with the name is said to be trying, as kids are cruel and will make fun of anything out of the ordinary. Maybe not so much today as back in the day. Many Carsons have no doubt wished they were Garys or Bills or Steves at one time or other so they could stay off the radar of petulent pricks bent on making their prepubescent lives miserable.

Of course, the name is maleable as well, transforming into lots of meaningless monickers that get old very fast. Simply substitute any vehicle for "Car" and the list is endless. Additionally, spelling it for someone on the other end of the phone is far more difficult far more often than one would think. Most people want to put an L in it and turn it into Carlson. Or they take the C for P and suddenly you're man of the cloth. Still, it gets compliments and folks seem to like it.
