My husband and I have almost come to a concensus on the name [name]Charlie[/name]… with the major caveat that our last name is [name]Keen[/name]. My questions, then:
Would it be wildly short-sighted to hold back on a name we love because it rhymes with some famous jerk?
[name]Will[/name] [name]Charlie[/name] [name]Sheen[/name] even be relevent in a year? 5 years?
I’m thinking we could just call him [name]Charles[/name] for now.
If your last name was [name]Sheen[/name], absolutely a no-go, but I wouldn’t blow off your favorite because of him. Plus, if I heard [name]Charlie[/name] [name]Keen[/name], it wouldn’t remind me of [name]Charlie[/name] [name]Sheen[/name].
I didn’t even think of [name]Charlie[/name] sheen until I read the rest of your post so I say use it. There are other nicknames for [name]Charles[/name] anyway:
I can’t lie, I totally laughed reading the title :D. I think you’re fine to use the name. You may get a little grief at first but nothing that I don’t think you can’t handle! [name]Charles[/name] is such a handsome name, it would be a shame for you to not use it.
I think [name]Charlie[/name] [name]Sheen[/name] will be completely irrelevant in a couple of years. But just in case, I’d use [name]Charles[/name] on the bc and have backup nns ready, like the list from woodensandals. I knew a [name]Charles[/name] in college who went by [name]Chad[/name], so almost any name starting in Ch- could work as a nn for [name]Charles[/name].
And let’s all hope he is only irrelevant and not dead!
[name]Charlie[/name] is such an adorable name. It would be a shame to let this one amazingly out of control jerk ruin it. [name]Even[/name] in a case where the last name rhymes with “[name]Sheen[/name].” Yes, there are other cute nns for [name]Charles[/name]. I’m fond of [name]Chas[/name] too. But [name]Charlie[/name] is special. Use it. But the time he’s 10 it will be a non-issue, I predict.
(When I saw the thread title, I thought, “[name]How[/name] can there be a thread here about [name]Charlie[/name] [name]Sheen[/name]!?!”)
Yeah, [name]Charlotte[/name] “[name]Charlie[/name]” [name]Keen[/name] is fine! Congratulations! Or maybe you don’t like [name]Charlie[/name] for a girl?
[name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Louise[/name] is good too. I was mostly kidding about [name]Charlotte[/name]/[name]Charlie[/name]. You have to save something for that little boy who might show up, right?
