Charlotte? bit boring or nice?

Any thoughts on Charlotte? I like it as a name itself, and like Charlie/Lottie as nicknames.
Is it a bit boring though? Seems to be fairly consistently in top 20 names. Do you know many babies called it recently ?

It's a lovely name, don't think it's 'boring' at all - much nicer than some of the naff, made up names that people seem to choose these days.

Beautiful name.

It is a bit boring but it’s also nice. There’s not necessarily anything wrong with boring as boring names are usually the classic, timeless ones. Plus the nicknames Lottie or Charlie aren’t boring as such and have more character.

Very nice. Good name.

My friend is a Charlotte, lovely. She shortens to Charley. Don't know any baby or small Charlottes

I'm due my 3rd baby in 3 weeks. We don't know the sex but if it's a girl we've chosen Charlotte. I don't think it's boring at all. Its a classic and sways nicely away from the common names you hear of all the time.

I used it so obviously love it, i think it is classic

IndecentFeminist · 10/04/2021 17:23

Both. Boring and nice.

Stevearnottsbeard · 10/04/2021 17:18

I love it, if I were to have any more kids I would have it on my list but I'm close to 2 Charlotte's so unfortunately wouldn't be able to use it

I like it, feel like it’s a classic name that will never be boring

YoniAndGuy · 10/04/2021 17:17

Like it. There's a reason it's popular - classic, nice sound, good short form options. I love Lottie.

Boring. I know a few Charlotte's and they're pretty dull too (sorry)
