Lauren or Charlotte?

[weneedtotalkaboutkettles]

Any views? I like both :)

I like both names but prefer Charlotte.

Charlotte is nice. I don't like Lauren, prefer Laura.

Charlotte

Charlotte. Lauren already dated IMO

I'm partial to Lauren as my DD(1) is Lauren. I just think it's such pretty, classic name. Charlotte is nice too.

Both very very boring

Lauren as more stylish IMO have you considered spelling it Lorren or Laurenne to make name a little more special?

I adore 'boring' names.

I am very thankful that my parents gave me one and didn't try being 'original'.

And at least spell them correctly. The very worst is someone who tries a different spelling and gives the poor child a lifetime of having to spell it and explain that 'yes their parents could spell, they intended to do it differently'.

Lauren, I have an irrational dislike of Charlotte. I do appreciate that I am in the minority and it is otherwise universally adored.

Lol at boring names. I once shared a flat with a Sam. He said that every time he had to give anyone his name - interviewers, restaurants, girls in clubs, football team mates - he thanked his parents for giving him a well known, easy to understand, easy to spell name. This was a revelation to me as I've been spelling out my first name and surname all my life! Ten years later when I was pg with ds we found 9 generations of Samuels in DH's family tree prior to FiL. DS was Samuel from his 20 week scan!

Lauren - lovely name and less popular than Charlotte.
I don't actually mind Charlotte but dislike Charlie and Lottie.

Lauren -- I think Charlotte sounds very formal and should be preceded by 'Lady', 'Princess' or 'Queen'.

Or how about Laurel?

Can't stand Lottie !

Lauren 100%

I don't like Charlie as nn either but be prepared as much as you push for one nickname you could end up with another

Charlotte.

More classic and nicer nn imo

I have never known a Charlotte the nickname Lottie,I've met a fair few.

I know 2 Lotties, one aged 24yrs and one aged 7 yrs, 1 Char aged about 60yrs and 3 Charlies.

Lauren is a bit 90s but I think I prefer it to the prim Charlotte. I'm sure Charlotte will be the much preferred name on here though.

Charlotte NN Lottie

Lauren is much better. Charlotte is quite boring and there are loads of them.
