Charles/Charlie

[BeeBread]

So, what do you think?

Older DS is Henry. We like pretty traditional names and I can't convince DH to go even remotely off piste.

If Charles/Charlie weren't so popular I think we wouldn't hestitate. But in real life I know very few Charlies and it seems to be discussed relatively rarely on here so I wonder if I'm worrying about nothing?

Charles nn Charlie is lovely, I only know of one Charles and he's 55!

Charles is a fabulous name.

I am thinking that too. It is a classic, no? Can't go out of fashion, and isn't dull (well I think not).

Just worried in case there are secretly lots about.

Currently also mulling Rufus and Logan but I can't see DH ever agreeing to them.

DS is Charles/Charlie and I think it is a wonderful name .

Rufus is gorgeous - try and persuade DH!

Charles with Charlie as nickname is great, a nice classic name :)

I like Rufus but not Logan (too fruity - similar to loganberries!)

I know a couple of Charlies (both boys and girls) but not many Charles. Had two in my class at school though so perhaps time for a revival?

Oh, my mythical DS would have been a Charles/Charlie. I ended up having 2 DD's but it was my boys name both times.

Very few Charlies round here BTW - have only met one in 5 yrs

i have a Charles / Charlie.

I think it's lovely

and he likes it too! he is 5 and likes it at school when the call him his "grown up name" (Charles)

I know a lot of Charlies (and I do mean a lot - seems really popular here!!) but no Charles... HTH
