Charlotte's brother is called ...

Hi lovely people

Baby no 2 (a boy) is due in 2 short weeks and we still don't have a name. DH and I can't seem to agree or there is a reason we can't "use" the name.

Our daughter is called Charlotte and I tend to prefer traditional names that you can shorten when they're little.

So far we have Oliver and Joshua, but neither feel right (I may be being sensitive as I had name regret with my little girl).

Any suggestions would be really welcome!

Also why do you have name regret with Charlotte? It’s such a beautiful name!

I came on to say Joshua!

I don’t see Jack as ‘going’ with Charlotte, tbh.

I thought George and Louis too Grin

Nicholas, Benjamin, Henry, Thomas, Alexander sort of names.

My instant thought was James, and so many nice shortenings that work well 😊

Harry was my first thought. I love Daniel

canichange · 12/02/2022 11:02

Edward. I have an Edward who has a little friend called Charlotte and I always think what a nice sounding pair they make.

Thanks everyone! There are some brilliant suggestions here!

James is DH's name, so we don't want to use it as a first name but maybe a middle name. I love George and Daniel but can't use them (silly reasons but they stand).

I love Charlotte's name now. Without going into the long background, I suffered with PND after she was born and I think I just focused on it for a period.

I'm quite looking forward to going through these with DH tonight! Xx
