Comments and insights on the name Karsten

Unusual but not weird.

Personal experiences with the name Karsten

Named my first son this name.

This is my brother's name, and he loves it.

My 8-year old son has this name, and I also know a grown man with it as well. I think it suits both ages perfectly. It is classy, masculine, and I always get compliments when introducing him. The only downside is it often gets mistaken for 'Carson' and he finds himself correcting people quite often.
