Even though I strongly feel like I am having another boy, the only name hubby and I could both decide on was a girl name: Charlotte Ryan
(I love 'boy' names for girls, and I also like 'unique'/ less used names)
I told my friends and family, so far the responses have been mixed between 'Eh...', LOVE it, and one friend truly hates it. I mean, she even told me she hated it. I would think she would really hate it to actually tell me that! I still love it, and still want to go with it, but I am just curious on other opinions outside of my circle!
Re: Opinions on girl name
I love Charlotte, but not a fan of Ryan since it's a boy's name. I'm okay with it in the mn spot though.
If you're looking for less used names, I will warn you that Charlotte is a pretty popular name.
Other suggestions: Carys, Mallory, Maren, Camille
I'm probably biased because my mother almost named me Ryan (she would have spelled it Ryanne)... And I knew an awesome girl named Ryan. But I like it.
My childhood friend's sister's name was Charlotte and we called her Charlie. Love it too.

I think that Charlotte is a beautiful choice, but it doesn't flow well with Ryan. I feel like such a feminine FN deserves a more feminine MN.

I absolutely love the name!! I think it's perfect!
BUT -- I also think Charlotte is pretty trendy/common right now... I know that was a big thing for us when we were choosing a name... we wanted something a little unique and ended up shying away from a lot of names that we felt were unique and uncommon because growing up they were -- but when you look at the names nowdays -- Charlotte is like the new "Jessica".
Despite that - I do love the name!!!
