Charlotte? bit boring or nice?

62 replies

Any thoughts on Charlotte? I like it as a name itself, and like Charlie/Lottie as nicknames.
Is it a bit boring though? Seems to be fairly consistently in top 20 names. Do you know many babies called it recently ?

Boring. I know a few Charlotte's and they're pretty dull too (sorry)

YoniAndGuy · 10/04/2021 17:17

Like it. There's a reason it's popular - classic, nice sound, good short form options. I love Lottie.

Wowyouareboring · 10/04/2021 17:17

I like it, feel like it’s a classic name that will never be boring

Stevearnottsbeard · 10/04/2021 17:18

I love it, if I were to have any more kids I would have it on my list but I'm close to 2 Charlotte's so unfortunately wouldn't be able to use it

IndecentFeminist · 10/04/2021 17:23

Both. Boring and nice.

Gizlotsmum · 10/04/2021 17:26

I used it so obviously love it, i think it is classic

HaNNaHC92 · 10/04/2021 17:32

I'm due my 3rd baby in 3 weeks. We don't know the sex but if it's a girl we've chosen Charlotte. I don't think it's boring at all. Its a classic and sways nicely away from the common names you hear of all the time.

TheUniversalsHere · 10/04/2021 17:40

My friend is a Charlotte, lovely. She shortens to Charley. Don't know any baby or small Charlottes

Profiterolegirl · 10/04/2021 17:43

Very nice. Good name.

BillyIsMyBunny · 10/04/2021 17:45

It is a bit boring but it’s also nice. There’s not necessarily anything wrong with boring as boring names are usually the classic, timeless ones. Plus the nicknames Lottie or Charlie aren’t boring as such and have more character.

CirqueDeMorgue · 10/04/2021 17:47

Beautiful name.

Ragwort · 10/04/2021 17:48

It's a lovely name, don't think it's 'boring' at all - much nicer than some of the naff, made up names that people seem to choose these days.

Flymetothestars · 10/04/2021 17:48

Classic. Not boring

helpmum2003 · 10/04/2021 17:53

Classic with lovely nn options.

Gemma2019 · 10/04/2021 17:53

I love it, always have. It's a classic.

babyt2020 · 10/04/2021 17:56

I think it's beautiful and I love both lottie and Charlie. If YOU like it then go for it!

ElsasFrozenVerucca · 10/04/2021 17:57

I love Lottie and Charlotte. Traditional and classic IMO not boring at all. But then I also really like Jane at the moment which others find a bit dull so maybe not a good judge!

bootlebum · 10/04/2021 17:57

Very dull and overused

jessstan2 · 10/04/2021 17:58

It's a lovely, timeless and classic name. Far better to have a name like that than something fancy, modern and contrived.

hazandduck · 10/04/2021 17:59

Boring, sorry. Went to school with about a million of them! In the same sort of league as Hannah and Emma to me.

AnyaMoondial · 10/04/2021 18:01

It is a bit boring but it does sound nicely different to all lot of other popular girl names.

Chunkymenrock · 10/04/2021 18:02

Dull and boring. So many other beautiful names to choose from!

Susie477 · 10/04/2021 18:04

It’s both. ‘Nice’ and ‘boring’ are not mutually exclusive when it comes to names, eg :
James
Emily
Thomas
Sarah

alexdgr8 · 10/04/2021 18:10

it's a fine name.
go for it.
you have good taste.

emmie841 · 10/04/2021 18:18

Love it. Beautiful name x
