[name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] are family names in my Dad’s family. [name_u]James[/name_u] is the more popular as it was ny grandfather’s first name. [name_f]My[/name_f] uncle had [name_u]James[/name_u] as a second name,( Dad was given Pop’s second name). [name_f]My[/name_f] eldest male line cousin was named [name_u]James[/name_u] nn Jimmy and 8 male line grandsons all gave [name_u]James[/name_u] to one of their sons, usually as a mn. [name_f]My[/name_f] nephew named his first son [name_u]James[/name_u] as fn.
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] was my great grandfather . His father had [name_m]Charles[/name_m], plus a great uncle had [name_m]Charles[/name_m] as a mn. However [name_m]Charles[/name_m] dropped out of favour because GGF [name_m]Charles[/name_m] deserted his wife after the death of their youngest son. It has only been revived with my youngest greatnephew. So I pick the name [name_u]James[/name_u].
Charles! I feel that it’s less common than [name_u]James[/name_u] but still has that timeless charm.
