Honestly can I call my child Charlotte without there being huge boom in that name this year because of SATC?

[OFSTEDoutstanding]

Really love the name Charlotte but don't want dd to be in a class full of Charlottes just because of the year she was born and the popularity of SATC film. I know how it feels I was in a class of 20 kids when I was at school and 4 of us had the same name!!
Am I being paranoid thinking alot of people will call their child this? I also worry how people will shorten the name as not overly keen on name being shortened called our son Ben and not Benjamin for this sole purpose!!
Also if anyone has any suggestions for a middle name to go with Charlotte or alternatively can suggest a girls name that works well with Ben I would love your suggestions, have drawn a complete blank!!

MY dd is Charlotte Emily. I've always liked the name and a film etc wouldn't have stopped me using it

great name. i don't see any reasons against it.

But SATC has been an immensly popular tv series for nearly 10 years! The film won't make any difference!
Its been a really popular girls name for years.

missingmyheels are you my sister? Actually you can't be cos my sis is definitely still wearing heels

That is my name and I love it. I am nearly 40 so def not named after THAT show.

Charlotte is a classic....it's big upsurge was a few years ago now. All the Charlotte's I know are about 10.
Much less popular than the Emily/Jessica bunch.
It's lovely.

Afraid Charlotte is super popular despite the film we have 10 in our very small school and there are 3 in my NCT group!

Flibberty Gibbet is right - SATC has been around for donkey's!! It's popular as it's classic and pretty (see also Emily, Hannah, Grace, etc) - wouldn't let a mediocre film put you off.
