Love the name but a few people have said it just instantly reminds them of Princess Charlotte.

Nope, not at all. I forgot Princess Charlotte existed actually until I saw this!

And I say that as mother to a Kate... Smile

So don't use it if your surname is Webb.

No, I think SATC and then web and then the Charlotte I knew at school. I had to think which princess you might be referring to tbh!

No, there were plenty of charlottes around long before the princess so I don't think it will matter much.

Nope. I grew up with a few Charlottes! In fact my best friend is called Charlotte Smile

Ha, no our surname isn't Webb! Actually forgot about Charlotte's Web. Surname begins with a C so it has a nice rhythm to it.

We live abroad and it didn't occur to me either really but a couple of UK friends have said Charlotte = Princess.

I do - but don't think it matters! In fact it's on our list and is DH's total fave, am just worried there will be loads around and she will forever be known by two names to distinguish her from her classmates. Hmm

Me too. At first I was trying to think about what Disney princess you were referring to!

Charlotte is a pretty classic name tbh. Don't think any one person/character can lay particular claim to it.

Nope just think of the only Charlotte in our family who we call Charlie ❤️

Not Princess but Queen, as in the maternity hospital in West London. I used to work nearby.

Nope. I think of my almost-10-year-old cousin whose name is Charlotte. Smile

No, because I'm old enough to have known a shit ton of other Charlotte's before the Princess. it's been yummy mummy popular on and off forever. Always a smattering of Charlotte's about. Nice name.

No, there are loads of Charlottes. It doesn't make me think of the Royal family.

It's a lovely name.
