Opinions on Charlotte?

[rivvi]

Baby girl is here, I feel like she's a Charlotte. Although we had decided on Layla/Leila!

Do you prefer Layla/Leila or Charlotte?

Thanks

I vote for Charlotte. It's my 2 year old's name and I love it. Nobody shortens it although I'm sure that will probably change when she goes to school.

Charlotte. Loads of potential nick names. I have a yr 5 and no Charlottes in her year over two schools. Leila is meh imho. And easy to mis-spell.

I would put Charlotte in the boring category, but that's just my opinion. If you love it, use it. But most Charlotte's end up being Charlie once they're school age so consider whether you like that too.

Charlotte is lovely and I love Lottie as a nn

Yeah, johans and the word is spelt "laylah". Do you think Layla or Leila looks more like laylah?

Layla and the Majnun. The original spelling is Layla.

Also, yes, Charlottes tend to get Charlie as a default nn. A shame because Charlie is nowhere near as nice as Charlotte.

Go for Charlotte, if it's a name you love.

For me it's a timeless classic.
Yes it's popular but so what?

Layla/Leila are both lovely names but I personally wouldn't use either as I'd imagine having to constantly tell people how it's pronounced.
