Charlotte

I posted below about the name Emma and you were all so helpful! I'm thinking we might steer away from Emma just because it seems to be overly popular rather than just common. I know Charlotte isn't necessarily unpopular, but it's a lot lower on the SSA list than Emma, so I think we're pretty comfortable with that.

Do you have any MN suggestions for Charlotte? We want to stay away from common ones like Grace and Rose. Also, if Charlotte is way more popular than I realize, please let me know!

Thank you! We appreciate any of your MN suggestions!

Charlotte's popularity depends on where you live. It's a top 10 name in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, but not even top 100 in South Dakota.

Don't go with Charlotte Rae, unless you like "The Facts of Life." Of course, you're probably too young to remember that show!

Charlotte pairs with most names well.

But as part of my personal crusade, please do not nn her Charlie.

Haha, it's funny that you mention that because I was just telling my mom on the phone that if we choose Charlotte, I would discourage anyone from calling her Charlie for as long as I could (as I'm sure when she's older she'll choose what she likes). DH and I both do not care for that NN for a girl at all! Charlie just screams boy to me. No offense to those who do like it, though.

Thank you for the MN suggestions everyone! They are great! Can't wait to show DH!

In my area, the Charlotte boom happened in 2008 and 2009. I think I knew knew about 7 or 8 Charlottes born between those two years. I don't hear it so much anymore, but I was quite sick of it for a while there! MN suggestions that come to mind are Ann, Noelle, Eve, Marie, Elisabeth, and Paige.

I really like PP's suggestion of Charlotte Elise. I also hate "Charlie" as a nn, but you couple go vintage & nn her "Lotte" (lot-ee) which I find sweet.

Aw, Mrs. Garrett! And the creepy witch in Worst Witch, too.

I like Charlie as a nn for a girl though. I know you don't want Rose, but my great-aunt's name was Charlotte Rose and they called her Lottie Rose. I thought that was pretty.
