We’ve been dead-set on [name_m]Charles[/name_m], since we found out he is a boy. Not looking for opinions on that. It’s a family name and we are agreed [name_m]Charles[/name_m], nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. It’s a name that makes us both swoon, despite popularity, or history. He’s our first.
I’m starting to doubt mn. We had decided [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m] (last name is is 2 syllables, rhymes with [name_u]Poe[/name_u]-shay, but starts with an F)
[name_m]Preston[/name_m] is a beloved friend and that’s why we chose it initially. I wasn’t a fan if the name [name_m]Preston[/name_m] on its own, but I do like the classic with the contemporary. Mostly, it was about the person who he would be named after.
Starting to 2nd guess this.
Should I?

If it’s to honour a person, than that is far more important than the trivial differences in sound. You will regret it, if you change it at this point. [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m] is a great name!
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m] is absolute perfection! I am a huge [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] fan!
Wait! Does [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m] sound too much like [name_m]Charlton[/name_m] Heston? Did anyone else think of that or am I being silly/overthinking this? Three days from due date and I’m still just not totally sold on a middle name! It’s stressing me out!
Family names we could use: Wellesly, [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], [name_m]Raymond[/name_m], [name_m]Robinson[/name_m]
Other names that just sound good or we like (but none feel like the one): [name_u]Reid[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Damon[/name_m], [name_u]Devin[/name_u]

I honestly think that you’re just panicking and having last minute jitters over [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m]. You love this name, it’s handsome and has a great flow. [name_m]Just[/name_m] go for it!!
Thanks. Maybe I just need to hear this!
Sound-wise my favourite is [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], but I love that [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m] has so much meaning and it goes together really well. I find [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] a bit odd because there was a famous [name_m]Christian[/name_m] leader and hymnist named that (first and last name), but most people won’t make the connection- my father’s a clergyman so I hear this stuff from him.
