Charlotte's brother is called ...

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!

I know a couple of Charlottes - their brothers are Grant and Alex (Alexander) 😊

We have a Max and if we’re lucky enough to have another child then a boy would be Miles and a girl would be Charlotte if I get my way, DH wants a Poppy Grin

I'm a Charlotte and both my brothers (Daniel and Edward) names have been suggested, as have my sons! (Dominic and Joshua)
We must match nicely Grin

Henry was my first thought.

We have a Charlotte and this was our list before we found out baby number 2 is a girl:

Lucas
Jack
Freddie
Max
Thomas
Alexander

Charlotte is a lovely name btw.

gingerhills · 12/02/2022 11:54

Charlotte and Sebastian
Charlotte and Alexander
Charlotte and William
Charlotte and Leo
Charlotte and Max

I think all these work in different ways.

William so many nice ways to shorten it.
I have a Charlotte and wanted DS to be William and call him baby Billy but DH said absolutely not Sad

I know a Charlotte with a brother called Ben, their mum was the opposite of you and doesn't like names that can be shortened so Charlotte is Charlotte until she chooses otherwise and Ben is a Ben not a Benjamin.

Thanks everyone! There are some brilliant suggestions here!

James is DH's name, so we don't want to use it as a first name but maybe a middle name. I love George and Daniel but can't use them (silly reasons but they stand).

I love Charlotte's name now. Without going into the long background, I suffered with PND after she was born and I think I just focused on it for a period.

I'm quite looking forward to going through these with DH tonight! Xx

Edward. I have an Edward who has a little friend called Charlotte and I always think what a nice sounding pair they make.

Harry was my first thought. I love Daniel

Are there any grandparents names you could incorporate?
