Hi lovely people

Baby no 2 (a boy) is due in 2 short weeks and we still don't have a name. DH and I can't seem to agree or there is a reason we can't "use" the name.

Our daughter is called Charlotte and I tend to prefer traditional names that you can shorten when they're little.

So far we have Oliver and Joshua, but neither feel right (I may be being sensitive as I had name regret with my little girl).

Any suggestions would be really welcome!

Charlotte is one of my favorite names! I’m so sorry you struggled over your choice, but Charlotte’s gorgeous 👒🍓🧺☀️

I would name her brother James “Jamie” 🧸📚

I also love Miles, Max, Alexander “Alex,” Kit Rowan (I like this combo), Oliver, Isaac, Shepherd “Shep,” etc.

Charlotte a royal name (not just because of current Charlotte ) so suggest being fully royal picking another Hanover / Saxe Coburg style name.

Frederick
William
George
Léopold
Albert
Ernest
Augustus
Adolphus (perhaps not!)
Octavius

Some fun ones there! With contemporary nicknames etc.

Alexander and Charlotte
Edward and Charlotte

Both been suggested on here already and I think they got the same kind of vibe 🤗

Dragonfly2022 · 13/02/2022 10:31

I know a Charlotte whose brother is Peter. I think they go really well.

Woeismethischristmas · 13/02/2022 08:23

I always think same number of syllables help names to match. James is a lovely middle name

Harris James
Thomas James
Mathew James

There are Charlottes in all generations, but the 'classic' boys names which are around now are quite ubiquitous.
James ( of course) , Edward, Matthew, Luke have been back for a while or never went away.

Then perhaps go back 50 years or so:
David
Richard
Robert
Simon
Peter
Jonathon
Guy
Alasdair
Christopher
Charles
John
Mark

Charlotte and Harrison sound nice together imo. Charlotte I only know one child named Harrison. I think Charlotte and Henry is quite nice too. I went to school with a Henry but haven't heard the name for a long time.

itsgettingweird · 12/02/2022 17:50

Charlotte was on my girls list.

My boys names were

Joshua
Caleb
Issac
Thomas
William
Joseph
Sebastian

Ds has 2 of the above as first and middle name!

Henry

AntennaReborn · 12/02/2022 17:46

I like William, Edward, Henry, Nicholas

I think Harry, George and Oliver, although lovely, are really commonplace now (dozens of them at our local primary), so if that bothers you they may not be your best options.
