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.
Thankyou so much to everyone for your responses....they have been very helpful!
Ali - DH loves that your neice and nephew are named Henry & Charlotte!
KT I think you might be right re having too many choices when it comes to my indecisivness!
Shar - If it's a girl and we call her Charlotte, we were going to use 'Charlie' day to day already!
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, some of them are no's for various reasons (close friends names, nieces names etc) but it's all good food for thought!
Hopefully I will stop over thinking this and start obsessing about something else!! LOL!
