They're all safe, inoffensive names, but they are so ploddingly "classic" and "regal" they bore me. Charlotte has a dowdiness the other two don't have. Victoria and Alexandra are nice enough names, but so overbilled. They're like kids at school who are good-looking and well-behaved and popular, but after graduation you pretty much forget about them or confuse them with each other, because they're so generic and bland. They'll probably go on to lead successful lives, but while they might have stood out in a high school populated with Jaydens and Destinees, and stood out among kids who drank and bred and wrecked cars, in the wider world they just fade into the background.

Boys' names that go with those? Edmund, Theodore (nn Theo, not Ted) and Daniel. I would say Alexander but it wouldn't apply in this case.
