We are expecting our first baby in February and have started tossing around name ideas. At the moment I am concentrating on finding a girl name, after which we will pick a boy name (I find it easier to concentrate on one at a time).

We are having quite a few troubles as many of the names I like DH doesn't (I like some 'different' but I feel nice names, such as Hallie, Ayla, Eilish etc - I think it comes from being a teacher, I hear some 'common' names all the time).

Anyway, the current name that we are throwing around is Charlotte. I like the fact that it can be shortened to Charli or Lotte (although DH is not a fan of Lotte).

From what I've read it has been popular for a few years yet I don't actually know anyone with this name; adult or child.

Anyway, what I want to know is what do you think of this name and would you, as an adult, be happy if this was your name??
