While I'm not pregnant.....YET.....fiance and I have been thinking about names we're going to name our children.

We have the boys name picked out already...there was no problem with that.

Our little girl will be Charlotte (we'll call her Charlie)......our problem is we're having a hard time finding a decent middle name. We considered Leigh, but it just doesn't "flow" well with Charlotte.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

I don't really care for the double L sound Charlotte Leigh creates.

Charlotte Jane
Charlotte Marie
Charlotte Anne
Charlotte Nicole


I like traditional names, not so big into trendy.

My daughter will be Charlotte Marie after my grandmother and my husbands. I love how it sounds.

do you want a longer middle name or short?

Charlotte Mae

A middle name is a great place to honor an important family member. It would have more meaning than, "Well, it sounded good."

Please don't use Grace, Kate, Rose... These are the new filler names, sadly.

Lottie is another, more feminine, nickname for Charlotte.

I agree with the family honouring; I'll definitely pick special relatives' names for the middle names of future children.

We've tried using family members names and none of them sound good with Charlotte. Possibly with the exception of "Jane" or "Janet"...and, well, I don't care for that name. Brings back bad memories.

Charlotte is the feminine form of my grandfathers name. And I've always loved "boys names for girls" nicknames (i.e. Charlie for Charlotte, Joey for Josephine, Dani for Danielle...etc)

Lottie...I'm sorry, to me that just screams "old lady". When she's older, if she wants to change her nickname, then she's free to do so.

We've got a long while to choose...I guess I just feel bad that we've got a boys name picked and not a complete girls name. If that makes sense.

I'm pregnant with a girl and still don't have a girl's name picked. It's hard!

Samantha's name came up relatively easy. Ex's middle name is Samuel...feminine form...yada yada yada. He gave her Kathryn as a middle name to honor my great-grandmother. One of the only honorable things he ever did for my family....but that's a long story we don't need to get into.

Cassie's name. Heh...I have a fascination with Greek names. At one point, I had even considered the name "Ophelia" until I passed it by my boss at the time and he said "Ohhhh, I want to O-feel-ia you...." (kinda letting me know she'd get teased all her life)...

I couldn't tell you how many names we went through for her. One day though, as I was about to go on maternity leave, the name Cassandra hit me.

So, we paired that with my middle name (Lynn...it's been passed down ;))

Good luck with naming your daughter. When are you due?

I had a friend name Charleigh, I don't remember her middle name but it's a good way if you wanted to use the Char and Leigh.

[a-groovy-gypsy.livejournal.com]

We thought of spelling the nickname that way, but it's just too...complicated.

Charlotte Jane sounds good to me..but thats my mom and step moms first names, so maybe thats why..

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

I'll second the Charlotte Jane suggestion! :)

[in-the-starlite.livejournal.com]

I third it. That name is in my top 5.

I like shorter mn's with Charlotte...

Charlotte May
Charlotte Rae
Charlotte Beth
Charlotte Elise

I agree with you about Charlotte Leigh, especially because you want to call her Charlie. Charlie Leigh does not go.
I like Charlotte Anne

One of my stepdaughters is Charlotte Jessica - she went by Charlie or Cha until she got to be a teenager, then went through trying to get everyone to call her Lottie (it didn't work) until she moved onto to something "cooler" - Charz (which, since we live in London, is pronounced like Shahhz. *groan*)

Charlotte is really popular over here - I know of lots of Charlotte Annes and Charlotte Janes, one Charlotte Emily and one Charlotte Elise.
