    What about George, can't be shortened and nice name for a bubba, boy and man, I think it means strong?

    I think Charlotte is nice, I was going to use Charley, which sometimes Charlotte can be shortened to?, if I was having a girl but have since found out its a boy.

    hi love,
    we are having a name dilema oursevles so am hearing you especially regarding 'is it too popular' query ... but personally i would cut the ''is it too popular'' criteria from your list. if you guys love it then that is all that matters. And charlotte can be also be shortened to lottie.

    i like henry, i think it's 'cute' for a little boy but grown up for a man.

    remember you can also be super inventive with the middle name if you are worried about 1000 charlotte/henry smith's in 10 years time.

    Plus your bub will be a special and unique version of that name... he/she will make it their own, no matter how many other bubs there are with the same name.

    Have you thought of John for a boy? it's not as common thesedays but is very traditional.

    There's nothing wrong with having a popular name if you love it. Charlotte is a lovely name, and Henry is great too.
    I wouldn't have them cause we like names that you don't hear alot, but if our chosen names did suddenly become popluar we would still use them, cause we love them and have come to see our baby with these names whether it be a boy or a girl.
    As for having more names to chose from, if your indecisive this may be worse for you to have more options. You have 2 names that you both like, so don't feel that you need to have a list of names just for the sake of having more then one to choose from.
