I like both but prefer Charlotte. Which is more popular these days? I would go with whichever is not as popular

They're the same. It doesn't matter.

If it were me, I'd probably wind up going with Sophie because I like the way it sounds when I say it a little more than Charlotte. I also think Sophie is a really lovely name for an adult woman, which is something I always think about with names -- how would I feel if I found out my college roommate had this name? My boss? My neighbor. For whatever reason, I am more drawn to the name Sophie than Charlotte.
Also, a really great nickname for a little girl names Sophie is Fifi. That's what my cousin called her sister for years when they were little because she couldn't pronounce Sophia as a toddler, and it stuck. It's a great family nickname.
Sophie IS the nickname! It’s silly to have a nickname for a nickname. The birth certificate name is Sophia/Sofia.
Please don’t call your child Fifi—she’s not a dog.

Charlotte or Sophie?
It’s going to be one of these two and I feel confident enough about that to put them in an anonymous thread where people can say anything so let me have it! And yes I already know they’re both quite popular. It’s not an issue for us. Thanks!
Use both, one as a middle name, problem solved.

See what she looks like and how it feels holding her saying both names.
Can't go wrong either way.
Congrats!!!!!

It’s pronounced “shar” though. My aunt has always gone by that, I cannot imagine calling her Charlotte.
I know a four year old Charlie who is also a Charlotte. Super cute and fits her.
