TTc baby number 3.
I love talking about names, my children have nn names but some of the names I am drawn to seem too similar.

Charlie and Tilly are my children's names - for family members we love the name Lottie for a girl...but is this awful and too cutesy? ...Yes I know the other two are so don;t know if I want to do it again.

The only other name for a girl on our list is Margot (after DH granny Margaret)
Boys names we like are: Oliver, Arthur, Alfred, Albert, Alistair, Henry and Harry. There are more, but these are the favourites.

Shall I stay away form cutesy names?

Cutesy names are fine. If theyre your thing. We all have our naming styles, dont we.
Is Charlie a girl or a boy. Assuming it's a girl. You can hardly have a Charlie and a Lottie as siblings. As they're both variations of Charlotte. It'd be like have a Lizzie and a Beth.

You can't use Charlie and lottie together as said above- all your other names are fine with the siblings though

Charlie is a boy (haha)

The connection is there as Charlotte and Charlie (Charles) are variations of each other and Lancelot is a family name and men and women were called Lot and Lottie.

Just thought I would ask :)
Thank you for your honesty
