[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's true Charlotte is popular generally but a lot of people use nicknames and that means there are fewer girls running around as Charlotte. I know three Charlottes under age 7. One goes by Charlie, one goes by Lottie, and one goes by Charlotte. Very different girls with different personalities, and their names all suit them. Their nicknames were choses when they were born.

I think it's a really pretty name and would place it in the "classic" category with names like Elizabeth and Emily. Yes, they are very popular. But it's truly because they are so lovely and enduring.

I think if you really love the name and it has meaning for you, you should do it. My DD's name isn't top 10, but we had a similar experience in that we both discovered we really liked this name early in our discussion of baby names and were basically totally sold on it, and then I looked it up on Nameberry and discovered it was a top 50 name which really surprised me. That gave us a little pause and we did spend time thinking about other names and wound up with a short list of 3 names, and the others were all less popular (one was my pick and the other was my DH's, the only name we both really really liked was that first one). Well then our DD was born and we took one look at her and knew our original name choice was the right one. And it was.

So I would suggest you keep Charlotte in the running, maybe see if you can identify a few other names you also like but don't toss out Charlotte. Then see how you feel as you get closer to your due date or even after she is born. If Charlotte is the right name, you will feel it.[/quote]
