I find it quite strange how similar some names are but how my opinion differs on them so much :)

E.g. Beth or Bethan- beautiful
Bethany-dislike

Rowan- gorgeous, for a boy or a girl
Rowena- really not keen

Charlie/Charlotte- like
Charles- don't like at all

I'm sure I'll think of many more! Is this just my odd taste or does everyone have names like this?
