What is your opinion one the baby name charleston?

[mummykemp1]

I'm 32 weeks and I have always wanted to call my baby boy Charlie, but recently come across this name and like the uniqueness. I want people's honest opinion on the name.

Many thanks.

Prefer Charlton, or Charles.

Charleton is a name
Charleston is a dance/city

Imo charleston is a ridiculous attempt at making Charles 'less mainstream'. And it sounds horrible. Just call him Charles and Charlie for short. One of my favourite names

Veterinari What do you think the 'ton' in Charleton means?

I believe tin is Saxon for an enclosed village or farmstead Abernathy

Charlton also an established name for a human. Charleston is not

I would assume you had misheard/ misspelt Charlton.

It's a dance or a city. It's not a name.

It's nice and unique but not too out there. Also you can totally get 'Charlie' as a nn from it.

Awful. Like an old fashioned 30's dance. Go for Charles or just Charlie.

Not too keen myself, but I don't see what's wrong with the name? I also don't buy that a child's name can't be used because it's the name of a city or dance? If you love it, go for it.
