Hi! FTM here. Not sure what we're having yet but I'm thinking Charlotte if it's a girl and Terry if it's a boy.

What do you think??

Terry - Sorry but this made me chuckle.

Charlotte is lovely.

100x no to Terry!

Charlotte is lovely but done to death sadly. Caroline?

Terry - it is TOO EARLY for a revival OP. Terry is 75 and wears slacks and short sleeved shirts. How about Toby?

I've always quite liked the name Charlotte.
Terry is a bit too old fashioned for me

I like them both. Then again Terry is our top choice for a boys name (family connection) should we ever have a Baby

Most every Charlotte I have met/know I haven’t liked so that’s put me off that name. It’s also very common

I have the opposite experience. Almost every Charlotte I know is just so lovely that it's one of my favourite names because of having so many positive associations with it.

Never met a little Terry. I think of a middle aged man from a Soap Opera I watched as a child but I can't remember which one it was. He's probably long gone from it anyway. I see no reason why it can't be used now there are so many little Sidneys, Ronnies, Billys, Franks, Bruces etc out there.

Terry, please no. It makes me think of a middle aged bald guy

Charlotte is pretty and classic

changesaurus · 26/01/2023 21:51

Charlotte is a lovely name.

xprincessxjanetx · 26/01/2023 22:07

Yes to Charlotte, love it.

Terry big no no.

Charlotte is a strong name that’s consistently used throughout the years.

Terry is lovely, my DD has a Terry in her class, he’s a lovely kid.

SunshineLoving · 26/01/2023 22:12

Both are just okay to me and have had their day. I wouldn't use either.

Charlotte is ok and nn Lottie is cute

Terry? Oh no

Terrance, Terrian, Tristan, Troy, Tatum, Tarquin, Tyrion not much better but there you go

Tyrion? As in game of thrones 😬

Charlotte is a lovely name. However Terry? Not so. Especially awful if it’s for a girl. I know a few Terris and white out exception they all hate their name.
