Charlotte? bit boring or nice?

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 ?

My little girl is Charlotte (Lottie) so it goes without saying that I think it’s a beautiful name! Honestly, I just wanted her to have a classic name. It might be boring to some but to me it’s timeless ☺️

Beautiful but I love classic names.
My baby DD's middle name is Charlotte.

I love the name Charlotte, I also like Laura, Rebecca, Emily, Sarah. Classic, timeless names.

It's timeless and beautiful!

I really like it. And like Lottie for a young girl and Charlie for a teenager shortening (when they’d choose themselves anyway!)
But personally I’d avoid anything royal as I think it will date.

Bloody boring. Sorry!

We have a Charlotte and love that she has a timeless name. She is 4 and known by Lottie though which we love. We wanted something that could be adaptable and when she's older can be known as Charlotte or Lottie or even Charlie if she wishes. At the moment though she is Lottie.

It's popular for a reason. It's certainly better than a lot of the names that are only recently popular. But I'd only choose it if you love it otherwise it's a bit like a sort of default name.

I know a Charlotte who certainly is not boring or bland.
It's a lovely name.
And the name doesn't make the person. If you like it go for it.

I am a Charlotte!
It’s one of those names that are classic but not overused-I’ve only ever met 3 others (I work with one so it can get a bit confusing) in my lifetime
I’m told it’s like Emily,Sarah,Lucy,Alice,rose and Sophie
All have stood the test of time and are very pretty
If my parents had called me something else then I would have called one of my daughters it
The only problem my parents had when I was little was teaching me how to spell it!

Love it. I like Lottie, not Charlie.

MrsTumbletap · 12/04/2021 13:52

Classic and lovely!

I think it's a really nice name, quite rare too, I haven't taught a Charlotte in years. Everyone seems to be an Aysha, or Ariana, or Layla, Amelia, Isla or Sophia. The 'A' sound is very popular at the moment, so it's nice to hear something different.

Also like Lottie and Charlie.
