Sister or Brother names for Charlotte!

I just found out I am pregnant with my second child! Baby is due June 17th. My 15 month old Charlotte's name was determined after much agonizing on this board (anyone recall the Charlotte/Lola debate?).
So now I am tossing around names for the next one already!! (It took us 2 years and fertility treatments to conceive Charlotte so I am shocked and happy to be pregnant already!)
I would love suggestions. I love names that sound royal, Victorian, and kinda 1940's/1950's classic/traditional. ie Michael and Jane. Harry and Lila. Charles and Eleanor. In other words, names that are very popular right now! Of course, I want to be "unique", which I won't be (Charlotte is climbing!).
So far I have thought for a girl:
Lucy
Jane
Beatrice
for a boy:
Henry
Hugo
Augustus
Rawdon (this was the name of the hero from Vanity Fair with Reese Witherspoon--they named their son Rawdon also and called him Rawdy which I thought was cute)
I love Frederick nn Freddy but last name is Farley--I think that is too cruel)
Thanks so much!!!

Well, welcome back! I'd like to give you a big fat CONGRATULATIONS on your 2nd child. I still remember the post from your DH wondering what the heck was wrong w/ Lola :-)
Lucy is my favorite sister name for Charlotte. For a boy I like Henry best!
Good luck!

As for boys, in your list I like Henry and Rawdon. Have you considered Charlotte & Anders, Charlotte & Jack, or Charlotte & Maverick?
I love Eloise, Elise, and Harrison. Elizabeth is Charlotte's mn so that's out. I love James with Henry cause James is dh's name, but the author connection is too much I fear.
Where is the who's who list?
My friend has a Veronica and they were going to name their baby Charlotte if it was a girl.
Otherwise I do think Lucy is adorable, I also like Sophie, Miriam, Caroline, Audrey, Lillian

I do remember your debates 15 months ago.
I don't think Jane is unique, in fact it's very very common in that it's just been around forever and is so plain. Lucy is neither unique nor uncommon.
I personally don't care for Beatrice, but it fits your criteria the best - a little more unique. I think it matches up with Charlotte in style better than Lucy or Jane.
here are some others I think are of the older, traditional, classic set like Charlotte that you don't hear as much as might match up
Anastasia, Amelia, Angela or Angelina, Belinda, Christina, Evelyn, Hannah, Jacqueline, Margaret, Natalie, Olivia, Rebecca, Victoria
on the boys side, Henry seems to be on the upswing. Hugo reminds me too much of that Carolinas hurricane a few years ago, and Augustus, I don't know, a little too unique maybe.
the traditional possibilities I think to match up with Charlotte: Benjamin, Christopher, Dominic, Gregory, Joshua, Jacob, Luke, Matthew, Noah, Timothy, William, Zachary
good luck
I'm starting to gather everyone's info and when it's done - We'll have a list and then an easy link.
I put the post in the Introductions/ Announcements section.
Thanks again .
I'm glad you liked some of the suggestions !
