I need some opinions!
I have always loved the name Charlotte our surname is Shepherd?
Any ideas of alternatives? We have 3 boys names we love but struggling for girls, other names we like are:
Sophie
Emily
Matilda
Pippa

Charlotte Shepherd is fine imo. She can shorten it to Lottie if she wants to. I thought you meant rhyming names, Jenny Kenny etc. Your preferred name is fine.

Charlotte Shepherd sounds fine - you could have Lottie Shepherd if you wanted but honestly Charlotte sounds lovely xx

I think it's fine, just said it out loud a couple of times and it's not difficult to say and doesn't sound odd.

She could end up being Lottie or Charlie anyway, neither of which starts with the same sh sound.

Sounds fine to me!

Charlotte Shepherd sounds fine to me? It's not like Charlotte Scarlett or something... I think quite a few people have names with the same starting sound (William Wilberforce instantly came to mind but I'm sure there must be lots of other examples!).

A name that has the same "feel" to me as Charlotte would be Catherine and also Caroline (which comes from the same root as Charlotte), as well as Emmeline if you like Emily - but honestly I think Charlotte is fine.

I honestly think Charlotte sounds the best with your last name out of these names! Charlotte Shepherd sounds nice.

Thought you meant something like Sean Bean. You can guess how I pronounce that.

Charlotte goes fine with your surname.
