[name_f]My[/name_f] partner and I have a few names we like for our baby girl, but [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is currently our top selection, with [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] as a nickname. We like the flexibility of an elegant, classic name + a modern nickname.
[name_f]My[/name_f] family traditionally uses family names as middle names, but I haven’t felt any of my relatives names suit [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - although I love the people dearly!
(Female names in my family: [name_f]Anka[/name_f] and [name_f]Danka[/name_f] (pronounced as “unka” and “dunka”), [name_f]Aileen[/name_f], [name_f]Rosslyn[/name_f], [name_f]Deborah[/name_f], [name_f]Marica[/name_f] (pronounced “mah-ritz-sah”)).
[name_u]Happy[/name_u] for it to be quite a feminine name. I am leaning towards the shorter syllable names but would love to know what others would opt for.
I like that her nickname could have us calling her [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f].
(Side note: I also love the nickname [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] but my friend called her daughter Lottie).
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Camille[/name_u] is my favorite. [name_u]Camille[/name_u] feels unexpected with the more popular [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u]. I’m intrigued by [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Tully[/name_u], but I don’t think it has the best flow due to the back-to-back ‘t’ sounds.
Not sure if you’re looking for suggestions, but [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Anya[/name_f] (for Anka), [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] (for Danka), [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] (for Rosslyn), and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] (for Marica) came to mind to honor your family.
I like your idea of [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] other favourite is [name_u]Florence[/name_u]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] ‘Charlie May’ is lovely, but I also like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Tully[/name_u] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Camille[/name_u]!
Some ideas (some use your family names as inspiration):
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] May/ [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] is so sweet!
The family names are beautiful, even if you don’t end up using them- I adore [name_f]Marica[/name_f], it’s so unique and flows nicely, and [name_f]Aileen[/name_f] would also work great!
I’m [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u] ‘Charlie’ so thought I might just say that.
Other ideas:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (honor for [name_f]Rosslyn[/name_f] maybe?)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] / [name_f]Helena[/name_f] (honor for Aileen–could be nicknamed [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] Nell)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] / [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] (honor for Marica)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f] / [name_f]Bea[/name_f] (Deborah means bee)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (Anka means grace)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Tully[/name_u] / [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_u]Tully[/name_u] is without a shadow of a doubt my favorite. It stands so well together and it’s gonna be a hard challenge to find anything nearly as cute but unique and unexpected
This would truly be one very special and pride inducing name in my view.
I like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] Cmille best on your list but I think [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] sounds nice with all of the family names on your list. I’m especially fond of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Aileen[/name_f].
