I've always quite liked Carter spelt with a 'C' although it isn't something I would use. I think it is handsome and strong. Rashaun is nmsaa but fine as mn. All up, the combo isn't something I like to see but I have definitely seen a lot worse.

I don't like Carter and the trendy k makes it 100× worse. Rashaun isn't my style, I've never understood the appeal of adding random prefixes to normal names.

Karter with a K, no. Sounds like a toy. Rashaun-sounds like a try for an Arabic name?

Literally nothing about that name appeals to me.

Karter with a K ... I don't understand the appeal of the K. I guess it has a lot of appeal for your colleague, but I can't seem to stretch far enough to relate to that. Karter ... hm. I just think it looks stupid. Sort of like spelling Charlotte as Sharlet.Rashaun - I wonder if it is honoring, an uncle or something. Seems 1970s African American style. Is it prn more like rash-AWN or Ray Shaun? I think the latter is kind of spiffy sounding, although nms. The former sounds sort of feminine IMO. Boy or girl? I assumed boy ... ...

Something I would expect to hear/see on a Maury Povich episode.I really don't like Carter, and more so Karter.Rashaun? Not no.
