Are people even that aware of Princess Charlotte? Those children are not in the public eye much.

I would understand the concern if it was an unusual name, like Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie were when they were chosen for Royal babies, but Charlotte was already a very popular name and had been for a long time.

I don't like Elle, but I do like Ellie, but it's a tad over used now.

I have a cousin Georgia and she's lovely, so I'm a bit biased there. We've always called her Georgie.

I used to like Charlotte, if they get called Charlie. However, I wouldn't use it now because of the Princess. I'd hate to think people thought I was naming her that because of the princess.

I like Amelia, but I'm awful for shortening names, so I'd call her Amé, but it would sound like Amy which I don't really like.

Elodie?

Georgia is my favourite.
Charlotte and Amelia are OK.
I don't think of Elle as a proper name (it's French for she/her). I think you should use Ella or Ellie, and you could always use Elle as a nickname. Ella would be my choice.

Amy106 · 21/05/2017 17:38

Lovely names-Charlotte is my favourite from your list.

MrsGB2225 · 21/05/2017 17:32

Charlotte

NappingRabbit · 21/05/2017 17:30

All really lovely. Charlotte and Elle are slightly ahead for me but I like them all.

Lemondrop99 · 21/05/2017 17:24

Charlotte is the nicest

Georgia is also lovely

Amelia is pretty but soooooo popular

Elle is ok but feels unfinished/short for a longer full name

DramaAlpaca · 21/05/2017 16:18

Charlotte is lovely, it would be my choice out of the four.
I much prefer Georgina to Georgia.
Amelia is OK.
I don't like Elle, unless short for Eleanor.

MiniMaxi · 21/05/2017 13:38

Georgia and Charlotte are my faves!

harderandharder2breathe · 21/05/2017 13:10

Not a fan of Elle but like all your other choices. I think Georgia or Charlotte are my favourites

AdaColeman · 21/05/2017 13:07

Amelia was the number one in top ten popular names last year, which would put me off a bit.
Charlotte is pretty, and my favourite from your list.

I'm not keen on Elle at all.

29Palms · 21/05/2017 12:58

Charlotte, definitely.

Amelia sounds like a squeaky hinge.
Elle is just the French for "she".
Georgia feels like I'm chewing gum when I say it.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/05/2017 10:19

Charlotte is my favourite.

Teardropexplodes · 21/05/2017 10:19

I really don't like Amelia.
Love Georgia.
Love Charlotte.
Not keen on Elle - it only really works as a middle name for me.

hoddtastic · 21/05/2017 10:18

Amelia is really common, I think Elle sounds like half a name and is a bit 'meh' Georgina and Charlotte are ok.

Charlotte

Epipgab · 21/05/2017 09:04

I like Georgia and Amelia.

SuperBeagle · 21/05/2017 09:03

I like all of them except Elle.

I'd choose Georgia simply for the popularity factor (the other two being very popular at the moment), but I do love Amelia and Charlotte too.

17caterpillars1mouse · 21/05/2017 09:02

Georgia - I really like George names, Georgia included though it's my least favourite (I prefer Georgina, Georgiana and Georgette). Like George as a nn over Georgie

Amelia - it's pretty and I actually know more Amelie's than Amelia's.

Charlotte - I used to really like it because I love Lottiebut it's been overdone since the birth of the princess :(

Elle - it's nice but I prefer something a bit more substantial feeling.

Afreshstartplease · 21/05/2017 08:44

I do like Elle. As long as its not pronounced Ellie

MiniAlphaBravo · 21/05/2017 08:43

Charlotte definitely.

Please not Elle. No one knows how to pronounce it.

KoalaDownUnder · 21/05/2017 08:33

I like them all except Georgia!

RuthB4 · 21/05/2017 08:31

I like them all except Elle. Charlotte is beautiful! And Georgia and Amelia are pretty too.

What about Lydia, Stephanie, Sara, Zoe or Tessa?

tabithaa · 21/05/2017 08:31

Lovely names, I love Elle and Amelia.
