scared to ask.....

....but is "Charlotte" becoming too trendy?  It's my grandmother's name and we were really close....I've wanted to name my daughter after her since I was 10.  What do you think?  I DON'T want her to be one of three and always be known as "Charlotte R."

I don't think it's too trendy.  I love it (it was my great aunt's name) and it's a classic.  Even if it is becoming more popular, I don't think there are going to be more than one in a class.  We named our daughter Elizabeth and with all of our music, gym classes and library time and playdates, I haven't met another one her age.

I dont think so. To me it sounds like an older name. I personally do not know any of them.

I don't think it is too trendy. I don't hear too many children named that. It is very pretty!

I don't think it's too trendy and I really like the name Charlotte. I say go for it.

To me, it's not trendy --it's an old fashioned name that is becoming very popular again. Sort of like what happened with Madeline and Sophia --old names that became popular again. To me trendy is Madison or Avery.

It is popular in NE--I have met 3 Charlottes under age 2 but it is a great name!

I think it's become more popular as of late but in no way would I say that it has anywhere reached the trendy point. I think it's a beautiful name and if you've liked it since you were ten and has so much meaning then go for it.

I like it and I don't think it's too trendy. If you like it just go for it.

Eh, if you've wanted it since you were 10, does it matter how trendy it is? My favorite boys name was written in my journal in middle school and now its super trendy- I'm still using it though- can't imagine using something else.

I use this to see the trend of the name.  It was #87 last year.

i don't think it's that trendy either. i love that name.

It is growing in popularity, but it isn't close to be a "popular" name right now, in my opinion.  It's definitely not trendy, but I think trendy and popular are two different things.  I think your love of the name and the meaning of it supersede worries about the popularity.

I don't think it's overly popular.  I am yet to meet one in person.  Good nickname potential too - Char, Charlie

Charlotte is a great name - super cute.

It is becoming popular on boards, but I don't think it's in the realm of "too popular" IRL.

I say go for it!

Eviebee

I think it's popular, but still beautiful.  She'll prolly know more than one Charlotte but I don't think it's as bad as Jen was for us.
