Do you think Carson is more of a boy name or girl name?
And do you know any babies/children with this name?

I think it would work for either. I've only heard it on one boy at my son's school, in grade 2 or 3 I think. When I was pregnant with my 6 yr old son, we had Carson Ann picked out for a girl.

All boy to my ears. I don't know any children or adults with this name but Carson Daily.....and that does nothing for the name for me!

Carson... I think of a fun loving boy right away. I am a postpartum nurse, and I see a whole bunch of names, a lot of them are good, great, and then there are some that leave me with a question mark in my head.... names like Carson, Mason, Skyler, Logan all convey masculinity to me (and look at my name Andie of all names! lol.) maybe thats why I think this way... but CONGRATS, good luck and I hope this helps.

Definetly a boy's name. I don't like it on a girl at all. I know no one with this name.

to me it should be all boy, but apparently people are using it on girls.

to me this one is way too masculine sounding to have become unisex

My 15 year old nieces name is Carson. She hates it, and wishes she had a more girly name.

I've heard this name for both girls and boys, but mostly boys. I'd only use it for a boy, in fact it's on our list! Dh likes Carson Grady....I'm not sure.

I've never met any Carsons in person.

Definitely a boy's name! I have heard it a fair amount, and always for a boy.
