Charlie or Eden?

kmb_nrb2010 · October 2012

We are due with a girl in April and are having a hard time finding a name we love. What are you naming your little girl? Top 2 favorites are: Charlie Kate Eden Marie

Mmm79 · October 2012

I prefer Eden to Charlie

Mrs.G123 · October 2012

Eden for sure as I dislike boy's names on girls.

TheWop · October 2012

Eden Marie for sure.

JustWonderin805 · October 2012

Charlie is a nickname for Charles. Unless you're going to name her Charlotte and call her Charlie as a nn I am not a fan.

Eden wins by a mile.

CeCe8579 · October 2012

Eden for sure!

This, although I am not a fan of it as a nn for Charlotte, so Eden even more.

I completely agree with PPs. Eden Marie by far!! Charlie is a boy name and horrible for a girl.

kmb_nrb2010 · October 2012

Obviously it?s clear that Eden is the favorite here. Thanks for all of your input!

Let?s talk middle names:

Eden Marie OR

Eden Mae (My mom passed away when I was 4 and I?d like to incorporate her somehow, but we aren?t a fan of her 1st or middle name. She was born in May, which is where Mae came from.)

OR Eden Silva (Silva is my grandmother's maiden name)

**Our last name is 1 syllable.*

What were your mom's names? I personally like the sound of Eden Marie better, but I also like Eden Mae, especially with it honoring your mom.

kmb_nrb2010 · October 2012

My Mom's name was Deborah Ann.

kayjay10 · October 2012

kmb_nrb2010:
My Mom's name was Deborah Ann.

I like Eden Silva, but I really like Eden Ann since it honors your mom. I like Ann better than Mae.

psychgirl33 · October 2012

I agree with Eden and I like Eden Marie best out of your choices.

Ditto this exactly.

Can you see your sweet DD putting Charlie on a resume on day?

Manderlin923 · October 2012

Oh, I really love Eden Mae. You could also use your mom's favorite color, flower, etc...as the middle name. Eden Violet, Eden Rose, etc...

kmb_nrb2010 · October 2012

Nope. I can't imagine her having to put "Charlie" on a resume.

BrittRN+ · October 2012

Eden! It's pretty and Charlie is a boys name.

theimpossibleastronaut · October 2012

I really dislike Charlie as a first name for a girl. It would be a cute nickname if you named her Charlotte or Charlene. But I really dislike it as the formal first name. I'm not crazy about Eden either, but I prefer it over Charlie.

strawberrytree · October 2012

Eden. Charlie is a boy's nickname. I cannot fathom a grown woman with the legal name of Charlie.

Charlotte/Charlene/Charlize nn Charlie is okay.

MrsTBird · October 2012

Oh, I love Eden! Much better than Charlie. Eden Mae is nice, but Eden Silva is better. I love the family significance!

provwife · October 2012

I only like Charlie for a girl when it is a nick name for Charlotte. I would suggest this.

anniebuan · October 2012

Eden (-:

CaliforniaDream87 · October 2012

I really like both!

But I'd go with Eden.

Keri Marie · October 2012

Eden Marie

mrs_tacos · October 2012

Eden, no contest.

I like Eden Mae as a tribute to your mother. So sweet.

sunnyday016 · October 2012

Eden.

Charlie is all boy IMO.

TofuMama7 · October 2012

I would vote for Eden Marie, even though Eden isn't really my style, at least it's a girl name.

I like Charlie as a nn for Charlotte, but not as a full name for a girl. If Charlotte Kate (nn Charlie) was a choice, that's what I'd pick.

Notwifezilla7 · October 2012

Joy2611:
oh, I like Eden Silva a lot. Very different and honors family!

I agree.

MrsP7309 · October 2012

I love Eden. Marie is my favorite of your listed middle names.

snowflake91011:

If you want to call your daughter Charlie, I'd name her Charlotte and nn Charlie.

If I had to pick between the names Charlie or Eden, I'd go with Eden.

Kate is beautiful, what about Kate Charlie?

Thanks for your input! My first name is Katie, so we don't want to go with Kate as a first name.
