Aria or Charlotte

What do you think of Aria? Too faddy/trendy? Will it suit an adult? Is it becoming too common? Do you think of Game of Thrones? I’ve nevr watched it but OH thinks people will assume it’s from that?

What about Charlotte? Too boring/traditional? Do you know many baby Charlottes? She would not be Lottie as we have a Lottie in extended family who is just Lottie tho.

Middle names Aria Elizabeth or Charlotte Amanda.

Thanks!

Oh no how old is she now and she doesn’t suit her name? Do you feel she’d have suited another choice more?

I already think Aria is starting to date and it's a name I even thought about for DD who was born 6 months ago.

What about Ariana?

LynetteScavo · 04/01/2019 21:26

@Jaz32 We gave our DD a top 10 name, which DH and I both really like, but doesn't suit DD. Confused

Definitely Charlotte. It's my daughter's name but we've never met another baby/ toddler with the same name. We wanted something classic and it suits her down to the ground. We never shorten it; but it's nice that she will have a couple of options when she gets a bit older.
I'm pleased to read all the positive comments about it on here

lazymare · 04/01/2019 20:18

Has anyone said Charia yet 😂 Best of both worlds.

Peachbubble · 04/01/2019 20:17

I'd choose Charlotte

IncomingCannonFire · 04/01/2019 20:16

I like both.
But with Charlotte, you will find annoying comments that you named her after the princess.
Aria is lovely, but very now.
Just choose a name you and the father would like to use forever more.

ellenpartridge · 04/01/2019 20:12

Definitely Charlotte but if you're really keen on Aria put that in the middle?

Charlotte is so so boring, I’d go with Aria. It’s much prettier.

Feeebeee · 04/01/2019 19:45

Aria is very of the now and will date awfully imo. Charlotte nn Lottie is very nice. I love Elizabeth but if your DH doesn’t like it Sad

greendale17 · 04/01/2019 19:29

Aria

midsomermurderess · 04/01/2019 19:29

I associate Aria with Pretty Little Liars.

MapMyMum · 04/01/2019 19:05

I didnt watch GoT but aria makes me think of a song and seems a bit pretentious tbh, its a pretty sounding word but its not a name afaic

PerverseConverse · 04/01/2019 18:58

Aria is very council estate here, pronounced with a Gallagher brothers hard "oh" at the end. It's chavtastic.

Charlotte is beautiful and classy.

Elizabeth is a classic too.

I love "proper" names though,

LynetteScavo · 04/01/2019 18:57

I love the name Aria, and have done for 10 yearsDH loves Charlotte....DD is called neither but would be if we'd had our own way. If we had another DD I grew to Charlotte but call her Lottie.

Probably not helpful at all.

Raera · 04/01/2019 18:55

Charlotte Eleanor?

GrandmaSharksDentures · 04/01/2019 18:52

One of my friends has named her daughter Aria as she wanted a unique & powerful name that no one else would have. She's not impressed how popular it has become...!

GinUnicorn · 04/01/2019 18:39

I think Aria is beautiful personally.

firstbrightday · 04/01/2019 18:36

Aria is a fad imo. Charlotte will have peaks of extreme popularity but will never date, I don't think.

Am not a fan of Isabel/a and Amanda is my mums name so would want to use that but it doesn’t go with aria anyway lol.
I know Charlotte is the sensible option but I can’t get Aria out of my head for some reason?!
