[Opinions] Re: Baby names for 4th
I like the flow of Charlotte Josephine more which is a holdup. There are many Charles on both sides of the family. Soo many. I looked and looked for a Charlotte. There is a Lottie on my side that was a sister of my ancestors. I do have a Joseph on my side that was the first over to America on the boat and he had a Grand daughter Charlotte but that seems to be the closest family tie to the actual name Charlotte. We have a Grandfather Charles and my husbands middle name is Charles. So I think my holdup is that it's not an exact name and my preference being for the sound of Charlotte Josephine. I love Charlotte but I do not like Char and don't really like Lottie although it may grow on me.

It sounds like it’s meant to be to me! Josephine Charlotte is such a classic, timeless combo and uses honouring names. Now I hear about Lottie, I would definitely use that, but I think Lottie is so darn cute!
I think you’re overthinking it. Josephine Charlotte is a beautiful name, uses two names you enjoy, and easily honors the name Charles.
Thanks for your response. I felt like I was thinking too much about it and feel good about either Charlotte or Anne so we will see which the husband prefers. I was thinking of letting other family give input which I knew would not be a good idea so thanks for your help!
