As full names, I prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but I love so many of the nickname options for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - don’t love the nicknames for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] sounds more classic to me.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] sounds more feminine to me.
I probably wouldn’t assume any age for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. For [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], I’d probably guess under 5.
This is hard!
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] feels dainty, elegant and youthful. Her nicknames add to the playful vibe of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and I think she could be more appealing to the masses. With [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] I wouldn’t assume any age. For me [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is more feminine then [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is sturdy, strong serious name I think she carries a lot of weight and feels almost more powerful then [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I personally haven’t met a [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] under 27 but think it would be refreshing still would assume with someone older. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] for me is a family name and one I considered for a middle name but was vetoed. For me [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] feels more classic than [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
In conclusion I think my favourite is [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (very hard decision if you asked tomorrow could change) just because of the family connection and that [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] would be really refreshing to see.
I much prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I love the nicknames that [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] offers, especially [name_f]Meg[/name_f] and even [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]. But I don’t particularly like the name [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] sorry!
In answer to your question though, I think both feel equally feminine and classic. I agree with a previous poster that [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] feels more powerful. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] just has a lighter feel in my opinion and that’s the biggest difference. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] feels more serious and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] feels more playful.
I would assume a [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is younger than a [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] because the Charlotte’s I know are aged 22, 21, 14. Whereas the Margaret’s that I know are 68 and 42.
Both names are lovely, I just can’t stand the fact of how popular [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] has become. I love the nickname oppurtunities with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and it’s so refreshing hearing this name on a younger indiviudal; [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] is timeless!
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is unfortunately too popular at the moment. And I love the nickname options for both but there are more for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
While both names sound pretty, Charlotte feels a little overdone to me. I love the timeless Margaret and all its cute nicknames!
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is so elegant and beautiful!! I can imagine either being any age really, though [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] feels a little more modern
charlotte for sure - i’d associate it with most age groups but probably 45 at the oldest
margaret i can only associate with old women lol - 60 and above

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] without question!
Margaret,for me conjures images of a crotchety old woman, whereas [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] feels timeless and elegant. It’s definitely more feminine. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] has a very harsh sound to me, which is why I think it hasn’t come back round in popularity like a lot of the other vintage names.

[name_f]My[/name_f] vote would go to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
To me they both sound feminine but have the ability to be adapted to some spunky nicknames which I appreciate!
They both also feel classic , and regal.
I know several Charlotte’s and their ages range from 80-6 months. I know Margaret’s most being 80+ but one is 5 , and 2 are 30 so it feels fresh.
[name_f]My[/name_f] deciding factor is the potential honour ( my grandma has a [name_f]Mar[/name_f] name) and the plethora of nicknames
Both are lovely, but I prefer [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]! It feels warm and strong and down-to-earth, and I adore the nickname options. I think both are feminine and classic, but if I had to assign one descriptor to each of them, I guess I’d say [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is more feminine and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is more classic? I’d guess that a [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] would be under 25, and I honestly would have no idea about a [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
I think they are equally feminine. I do prefer Margaret because it’s classic and elegant but sounds so powerful. Margaret is timeless I don’t associate a certain age with it and Charlotte is most likely a little girl maybe like 5 years old. Nickname options for both are great. For Charlotte I like: Char and Lottie. For Margaret I like: Madge, May, Pearl, Daisy, Peggy, Maggie, Margie, Greta, Marnie and Margo.
charlotte to all three questions, and I would not assume any age !!

Definitely prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]! I knew one growing up and I know a baby so it doesn’t feel fixed to one age. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] definitely feels 75+.

I love both of these names! But I prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. To me it sounds feminine without being too frilly. I love all the nicknames that come with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], and I do think it is the more classic and traditional of the two.
I love both but I find [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] to be the most feminine of the two since it feels softer. I think the NNs for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] are cuter as well; [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_f]Char[/name_f] (char or shar), [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], [name_f]Letta[/name_f] (Since [name_f]Lotte[/name_f] in [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] can be prn charlette)
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is timeless as well, I love how it feels a bit stronger, but Im not too fond of the NNs; [name_f]Margie[/name_f], [name_f]Marge[/name_f], [name_u]Mars[/name_u], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] (really not into this one) [name_f]Margo[/name_f].
I feel like the combination of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] feeling like a more strong name (I always think of margaritas which is why it stands out to me more) and having less feminine NNs makes [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] seem more feminine.
But honestly, I like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] over [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] as a whole even if it’s the less feminine of the two for me
I think that [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is definitely the most classic, while [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is more feminine, but I prefer [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] over [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] isn’t overly popular like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is, and there are so many nicknames options for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. You have [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]Marge[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], even possibly [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], (Pearl from the meaning, [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] from [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women) whereas with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] you have [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]. I feel like a [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] would definitely be around 9 years old, while [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] would probably be in her twenties or later adulthood
Both are equally classic, I think, but [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] sounds more feminine (while [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is more… serious?). I always prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] too. I love the nickname [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], but I’m not a big fan of any of Margaret’s nicknames. Could be just me though!
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] by a smidge!
