Charlie and Oscar - thoughts?

[DarkGreen]

I like the names but does it make you think of the phonetic alphabet c for charlie, Oscar bravo etc.. don't want jokes of will we name the next one romeo! Am I over thinking it or does it make you think of this?

I’m familiar with the phonetic alphabet but it didn’t occur to me until you said it, my first thought was they go well together, both nice classic names

I used the phonetic alphabet daily for my job and it never Occurred to me. I actually nearly had a Charlie and an Oscar but we changed our mind and went for Oliver instead of oscar.

No it’s fine. It might occur to me at some point but I wouldn’t think it was a bad thing. I quite like it actually. Very neat and they kind of ‘go’ nicely. It annoys me more when sibling names are wildly different in feel, for example ‘Kayne and Hugo’

I made the connection straight away.

Yes that was my first thought before I opened the thread

I also made the connection straight away! They're so widely used to describe O and C!

Nope. Didn't even spring to mind.

If it helps I know two siblings sets that have Charlie and Oscar as brothers so it didnt bother those parents! Its noticeable but doesnt sound silly to me.

No. But I am having a slow day.

No didn’t make the connection at all x

Ha! I didn’t think it until I read your post and then it made me laugh, but I don’t think it’s a big deal or should stop you from using two nice names! I hope you and your partner are Juliet and Mike 😆

It was my first thought when I saw the title of your thread, sorry! Judging by the responses I think you will get a foxtrot joke 50% of the time.

Yes I immediately thought of the phonetic alphabet when I read your title before opening the thread - sorry OP!

I use the phonetic alphabet constantly for work, and I didn't think of it from your title

No didn’t make the connection

It was my first thought but then I use the phonetic alphabet at work

I too made the connection, regardless of your title

I also made the connection and thought I wonder if her 3rd will be Romeo.
At the same time though, they are just names. People often choose similar names for their DC or names with a theme. It's no different to that really.

I wouldn't have made the connection but then I never really use the phonetic alphabet. I thought they were nice names that go well together!

I don't think so. I think they go well together

Yes, it was my first thought when I read the title and knew that was what your thread would be about.
It doesn’t really matter though… it’s only a fleeting thought and it’s not a negative connotation. They’re nice names.

Juliet for their sister
