How do you feel about the name Charlotte?

Do you dislike or like the name & why?

I love it. Classy and understated. Also like Lottie.

Is a timeless classic, with a good choice of NN, we know several & they range from Lottie, to Chari, Charlie & Hari. Wouldn't be my first choice as it's too common a name for my personal taste, but it's not offensive in anyway & a perfectly nice name

It’s fine. It’s classic and traditional. Some people will think that’s wonderful and some will find it boring. Personally I think Charlotte is as interesting as a glass of water.

It's one of my favourites.

Charlotte Louise always sounds lovely to me.

I’m not keen. But it is so popular many people must love the name.

My niece is Charlotte Rose
Not shortened
I like it as it cute for children and classic as an adult name

A bit boring but ok. I prefer lottie.
As a version of Charles I prefer Caroline and also Charlie.

Hate it because of how common it became here when the royals named their baby Charlotte.

I love it, very classic and pretty

I love it and I think it spans generations, it's a lovely little girls name, can be shortened for teenagers and is classic as an adult name

It's beautiful.

Elegant and graceful.

It has Jane Austen vibes.

Dull. All the ones I know have parents who are painfully conservative and sensible. Not that that’s a terrible thing, but that’s the vibe. As a pp said, it’s Tory voting Labrador owners. Char is an awful nickname by any standards. Much prefer Caroline.

I'm not a massive fan which is odd as I generally like traditional names. I hate all the shortenings of it which doesn't help.

It's ok but a bit boring.

It rhymes with harlot.
I associate it with someone who went to a girls’ school breaking out.

I don't like the way it's pronounced Char lut by some people

How do you pronounce it then??

I love it, classic and beautiful. I have a Charlotte who is a Lottie. I love it as she can be known as Charlotte, Lottie or if she wishes Charly, it's up to her. My name can't really be shortened and so I was keen for my kids to have names that can be shortened if they wish.

Love it, but it is currently overused.

I like Charlotte but really dislike any of the shortenings/nicknames deriving from it.

I like it. Husband really likes it. But we have a William so we would have looked far too royalist if we went for it!

Nice, inoffensive, thus an easy name for the child to carry off!

Like it. Know a few of different ages. Doesn't date.
Know one Charlie and one Lottie but the others are Charlotte.

Dull and all the ones I know have smug annoying parents

Perhaps because it’s a feminine version of Charles, perhaps because there’s a Queen Charlotte’s hospital but it has always seemed a royalist name to me, and comments suggesting the current use of it by the royals was somehow unfortunate and unexpected seem a bit odd.
In fact, it’s always seemed more royal than Elizabeth, which at least has a bible story attached.
