How would you rate Charlotte with....?



  • How would you rate Charlotte Farley as a first name/last name combo?
  • Love it. Perfection.
  • Pretty. Charlotte's beauty overrides all anyway
  • It is not great, but worth it to have Charlotte
  • Please don't do that to her
  • Unforgivable
  • Just make it Charlie Farley on the birth cert, and seal her doom, why don't you?

Ok, I voted "Love it." Charlotte is my baby girl's name. I did laugh out loud at the "seal her doom" option. I hadn't thought of that.

Other possible nicknames, if you want your daughter to have a nickname? I've thought about this a lot as it's my daughter's name:

Lottie

Tottie

Cookie (we use this one)

Cha Cha (someone told us this is what their children called their daughter Charlotte until they were able to pronounce the name Charlotte)

Coco (I liked this, but it feels trendy now that Courtney Cox is using it for her daughter)

Carly (I don't like)

Sherry (don't like either)

Ok, so the "Charlie Farley" possibility is a bit of a problem. I have only had one person call Charlotte "Charlie" right off the bat, but they realized that this was not what we called her, and stopped. We use Cookie as an affectionate nickname, not as a replacement for Charlotte. The name is so beautiful, so why would you really use a nickname.

Good luck! I'll try to think of some other old fashioned names for you and post on your other message (I assume that was your post.)

What happened to Lucinda??? I thought you were set on that! I love it so!

Personally I just can't get over the whole Charley Farley business. I don't know why!!

Sorry!

I really like the name Charlotte. The nn Charley hadn't even occurred to me until you mentioned it.

What happened to Lucy? Aren't you due any day now? You MUST post your birth announcement once this baby gets here, I'm dying to know how this all turns out.

For the record, Charlotte or Lucy/Lucinda are both great names. You can't lose!

Charlotte is a beautiful name. Do you plan to call her Charlie? She could always use Charle, like a friend I had did, adn Charle Farley is fine. Or she can go by her whole beautiful name.
