Would shorten them to Charlie, Frankie and Pippa.
What do you think?

My favourite from your list is Philippa, shortened to Pippa.

Charlie/Frankie sound a bit more boyish IMO.

I like Charlotte best but not keen on the Charlie shortening.

Charlotte is my favourite (slightly biased as I am one) but I also really like Philippa shortened to Pippa. I like Francesca but not Frankie as a nn.

I like Charlotte best, but prefer Lotte/Lottie to Charlie.
And I llike Francesca - Fankie's cool.

not so keen on Philippa, but I do like Pippa.

Philippa [biased] is a fab name (dd2)
like Charlotte, especially shortened to Lottie
not as keen on Francesca.

in fact, have triplets, as Charlie, Frankie and Pippa sound great together!

Go for Phillippa/Pippa or Franchesca/Frankie. I'm a bit bored of Charlotte/Charlie now, this seems to have been a high fashion thing in the early 2000's, to me it's a bit like the female Finlay and it's time has gone.
