Help me to make DH realise how many Charlottes there are at the mo!

[planetalice]

I absolutley love the name Charlotte and my Husband is stuck on it but we have a very common surname of the smith variety!

I only know one six yr old called charlotte if that helps
I know a teenage charley which presumably stems from Charlotte

I know a teenage Charlotte and ds has 2 in his class (7yr olds).

I hope im wrong and Charlotte is not super popular at the moment as its such a pretty name and she can play about with Charley, Lottie and hopefully not but even Chaz!!

I also think it is one of those difficult names. I am Scottish so it sounds like Charlit when I say it.

Can't think of any children I know called Charlotte

I can only think of one under 18.

In 2009 (most recent year for which full official statistics available), Charlotte was in 14th place, with 2778 girls given the name.

Link to Office of National Statistics 2009 top 100 here.

I know of 1 11 year old

14th place not bad, I suppose its our common surname that is making me think twice....looking good for Charlotte so far! :)

I name DD1 Charlotte in 1984, everyone said it was old fashioned but it became very popular a couple of years later when Dallas was on TV.

I don't know of any younger ones called Charlotte.

Maybe im just in a highly populated Charlotte area :) :) I move around every few years with my job so maybe Charlotte is a strong option :)

There is one Charlotte in 12 month old DDs class and also know another baby Charlotte.

I can only think of one baby Charlotte.

I don't know any pre school age or baby or toddlers called Charlotte.

I only know one

Don't worry too much about statustics. Go for a name you like and Charlotte is a lovely name.

FWIW I named DD a name that was about 300 in the name tables. I know about 6 of them, all under 10! And I only know one Olivia (which is supposed to be one of the most popular names! LOL

I can't think of any either. It is a very beautiful name though. :)

I think Charlotte is a name which is always around and always popular.

There are 2 Charlotte's in the class I teach (6-7 yr olds). Both lovely children though, which always makes me like a name!

I know two adult Charlottes, but no children with the name.

All 3 dds have best friends with that name - it is VERT popular, but so pretty. Even Lottie is cute!

"VERY"

dd playgroup - 28 children on roll; 3 charlottes. Beautiful name I suppose that's why there are lots & lots here!

I no a 12 years old and a 7 year old charlotte. Also a 1 year old called Lottie. I dont hear of many children called charlotte now a days. I went to school with a couple and im 25.
