I think [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] is super cute for a little girl and beautiful for a grown women.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is nice (not loving the nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f]) but it seems like for you [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is the name as you keep coming back to it.
A name crush is always sweet but you might regret it when giving the name to your own baby and not finding yourself in love with it month later.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] seems to work with all your family names but if you want her to have a name that’s only hers, that’s fantastic, too.
You seem to like vintage names, so maybe you like:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] / [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]

I prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] over [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. If you want her to have a name all her own, I’d choose [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] over [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. And [name_f]Bea[/name_f] Gross would definitely be a deal breaker for me.

[name_m]Both[/name_m] names are lovely, but I think [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] sounds better with your last name, since [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and Gross both end in an s sound. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] looks and sounds so cute with Gross, and no offense, but it’s a delicate last name to work with.

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is my favorite, but [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] are both nice too. I like the double letters.

If you’re willing to break from family middle, some ideas: (I like 3+ syllables in the middle)

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] (similar meaning to [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f])
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] --this is actually perfect to get further from [name_f]Charlee[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] but keep the same feel.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] are wonderful too. Good luck!

I am wondering if I should just give in and let hubby have his [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. He loves [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]. It is honestly my favorite too, but I still have the hesitation because of the cousin. It is a third cousin we see once every few years… I do not think there would be any ill will. The baby is also due on his great grandmother’s birthday, she was [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. Our baby would be named for my mother in law.

I like both but prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is adorable.

[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] over [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].

I’m bored of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
