DH and MIL want to name our next DC Charlie, regardless of whether it is a boy or girl as that was A relative of theirs name.

I HATE the name Charlie. Every other kid at DC1 school is called Charlie and I can name over 10 Charlie's of different ages that I know without even trying.

I don't want to completely dismiss DH and have been trying to think of names that could loosely be shortened /have the nickname Charlie without it being their given name.

We don't know the sex yet so am looking at girl and boys names.

Any suggestions?

MIL needs to mind her own business. This will be YOUR child, not hers.

Why does your MIL have any say in your child's naming..?

If you hate the name Charlie that much why would you want your child to have it as a nickname?

I'm sorry but DH should respect your wishes and you should find a new name together.

MIL should do one.

Oh no :(, if you really hate it then you can't and shouldn't use it. If you don't love it for a first name but don't really truly hate it then perhaps compromise and have it as a middle name?

Is it C name suggestions you'd like?
