My scrummy baby boy was born on tues night, I was decided on Arthur William but it does not suit him and his dad hates it!

Down to
Charlie (my fav but really popular??)
Matthew
Christopher
or something along these lines?

Love Daniel and James but already within the family.

My daughter's name is Carrie and double-barrel surname so shorter name best??

Help!!

Charles/Charlie is a great name (not that I'm biased at all... hee hee)

Oh, and I had the Carrie and Christopher dolls!

SqueezyB · 22/01/2010 14:27

Congratulations!

I love Charlie. Doesn't matter that it's popular.

boodleboot · 22/01/2010 13:51

Carrie and Charlie sounds lovely....

diddl · 22/01/2010 13:50

Like Charles William & Matthew William.

Also like Arlo.

Pingpong · 22/01/2010 13:44

I really like Charlie and don't care that it is popular. I'd go for Charles William nn Charlie.
It's lovely

Bicnod · 22/01/2010 07:40

Congratulations Carrie

I like all your names but like Matthew William best...

Let us know what you decide!

randomimposter · 22/01/2010 07:27

admit am totally biased as I have a William Arthur, and Arthur is after my dad.... so I think it's a GREAT name!!!!

BUT can see that Carrie (is that her full name or a NN) and Arthur don't really "go"...
Carrie and Art are ok... and Caroline and Arthur is ok... but actually are different types of names to my ear.

Carrie and Kit are nice, I agree with PPs.
Christopher William... (never heard of the dolls...?)

Good luck!

Ellica · 22/01/2010 06:12

Archie??? combo of charlie an arthur!

nappyaddict · 22/01/2010 00:36

Hmmm only ones I like so far are Caspar, Jeffrey, Arlo, Kester, Kit and Drake.

What about Benedict, Art, Chester, Brooke, Conan, Lancelot, Merlin, Milo, Otis, Rex, Dexter, Gabriel, Harris, Tobin, Mungo, Percy, Lance, Sullivan, Barnaby, Barney, Ray, Wilfred.

Congratulations on your new arrival!

Dunno if this makes any difference but there used to be a very famous set of dolls called Carrie & Christopher when I was little (70s). They were famous 'cause they had proper private bits unlike most dolls. Not that this has a huge amount of relevance but I would always think of them if someone told me their children were named those two names together - although the names themselves are lovely.

derrymac · 21/01/2010 23:06

Actually I'm not sure about Arthur now! No, scrap it - Charles IS a lovely name and I love Charlie. I also like George.

derrymac · 21/01/2010 22:58

I like Charles william best, but Arthur is cute for little ones, not so sure when he grows up? But I think it's gonna get more popular. Charlie always makes me smile for some reason (Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Drake..) Arthur will probably get him more noticed and probably look better on his C.V.!

CaptainNancy · 21/01/2010 22:58

Heheh- I also though "Arthur WIlliam, how lovely!"

What about Arlo?

so.. you like Kester?

displayuntilbestbefore · 21/01/2010 22:55

Matthew is lovely, maybe Matthew Benjamin or would that be too long with a double barrelled surname?

Washersaurus · 21/01/2010 22:52

I agree about Matthew William not being a good combination of names because of the W's.

Charles William is lovely; just go with what you like and what suits him, it matters not how popular it is.

I meant to throw Alexander in with my previous suggestions btw.

shonaspurtle · 21/01/2010 22:50

Charlie is lovely, but is your daughter Caroline? Because that's basically the female version of Charles.

Not that it actually matters.

Carrie & Charlie? I think that sounds nice.
