Hi all, we have narrowed it down to:

Charlotte
Lily
Ruby

Which do you like best? I’m leaning towards Charlotte as I think it’s so pretty if a bit dull? Thanks

Charlotte is a classic and has been in quite common use for past 40 odd years and still very possible so likely to date better than Lily or Ruby

Yes, there are a lot of them about but it is a very pretty name

I know plenty of Charlottes who are never called Charlie or Lottie

Charlotte

AdaColeman · 13/08/2023 17:57

All are lovely names, but my all time favourite is Ruby ❣️ ❣️

Of those, I'd choose Ruby. Nothing wrong with Charlotte, I just don't like the sound much.

I was going to say that the 2 Charlottes I know are Charl (Sharl) apart from one who has always been Lottie.

MalibuBetty · 13/08/2023 17:36

Ruby

golddustwomen · 13/08/2023 17:36

I'm a Charlotte and no body has ever called me Charlie or Lottie.

It's 99% of the time Charl.

As it goes I would pick Charlotte from your list!

Charlotte definitely

Mumofgirls2017 · 13/08/2023 17:33

Lily

TaigaSno · 13/08/2023 16:56

I would only use Charlotte if you also like Charlie and Lottie, which she will inevitably end up as at school if not sooner!

I love the name Ruby! Ruby Gladys sounds perfect to me. Lily Gladys also nice.

I do also love the name Gladys too!

Charlotte.
Lily is a bit wet and Ruby.....er no.

panko · 13/08/2023 16:40

Charlotte Gladys is beautiful

daisypond · 13/08/2023 16:40

I’m not keen on Charlotte at all.

I do like Lily but it was popular over 20 years ago where I live and has got more and more popular since then. I think it might have dated now.

I like Ruby and I’d probably go with that.

Just to add, the middle name will likely be Gladys after my Nana - not everyone’s cup of tea but it means a lot to me.

Yes, Charlotte.
