Congrats! I do love the nickname [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], but I think the flow of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] Lamb/[name_f]Cece[/name_f] Lamb works the best.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]. They’re are the same name, just in female and male forms (just as [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] and [name_m]Carl[/name_m] are, and have the same meaning as [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]/[name_m]Charles[/name_m]). If you want to name baby after familial [name_m]Charles[/name_m], use either [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] or [name_m]Charles[/name_m], not [name_m]BOTH[/name_m].

So, if you want to use [name_m]Charles[/name_m], call her [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]. If you want to use [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], call her [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and pick a different middle name ("[name_f]Cece[/name_f]" can work for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] even without a C middle name, but if you’re so inclined, something nice and long like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] would work), perhaps [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f].

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]! One of my favorite girls names, not NEARLY as popular as [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and so beautiful!

A great choice on your behalf!

Also, I think Lamb as a middle is so sweet :slight_smile:

This, exactly. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_m]Charles[/name_m], while not a horrible name, is redundant.

For the record, I see no issue at all with using [name_m]Charles[/name_m] as a girl’s middle name since there’s a family connection.
