Charlotte or Katelyn?

in Baby Names
Not even pregnant with #2, not even TTC.  Just have baby fever lately and I'm bored at work.

What do you think of Charlotte or Katelyn?  I'm having trouble coming up with good middle names besides Rose.  I'd like a unique middle name but something that sounds good.  Also, I thought Katelyn might be too popular/boring but according to SSA, it's popularity is declining.

Short list for boy name is Grayson or Jack.  I LOVE Quinn for a middle name but DH isn't buying it.  Any suggestions?

DS is Travis Erwin (a family name).

    I like Charlotte.  Rose is such a boring filler MN.  I do love it as a FN though.

    Agree with PP about Rose.
    So many Charlottes recently. Love Katelyn...cute, but classic

    No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college.  Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole.  IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age.  On to IVF.  Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11.  Froze due to overstimulation.  

    FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN.   FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).  

    Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5".
    FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer.  Let's try, despite 10 still frozen.  
    ER 6.26.13 27 mature eggs, slight overstim. ET   7.1.13 ectopic, FET 2.1  9.10.14   TRIPLETS!!  

    Boys born 3.18.14 @ 29w5d.  Andrew Jack 3#6oz 16", Grant Robert 3#9oz 16", Charles Phillip 3#7oz 17".

    Charlotte.  Katelyn is dated to me.  Even though I agree Rose is a filler mn, I do love it paired with Charlotte.

    I like Caitlin more than Katelyn (or any other weird spelling), but I'd still pick Charlotte.
    That's funny.  I think Caitlin is the weird/made-up spelling of Katelyn.

    Coming from a Kaitlin, I vote Charlotte!

    My name has served me well, and I like it, but I wouldn't spell it Katelyn. I'd go with the traditional spelling: Caitlin.

    I like Charlotte.  What about Sage, Belle, Paige, Faye, Gale or Fern as a MN?

    I prefer Greyson to Jack.  Greyson Jack?

    Totally didn't know that was the original spelling.

    For me it would be Charlotte hands down but that could be because I have a Charlotte. Her mn is Elizabeth.  She happens to have a brother named Graydon (named after his great grandfather) which of course is close to your pick of Grayson.

    Charlotte Rose is in our top two! Rose is DH's grandmother's name so we wanted to use it as the mn. Love it!
