People forget things quickly, and after the buzz from this royal baby settles, I bet no one will say anything. </p> <p>I think Charlotte is absolutely beautiful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166802 Mon, 04 May 2015 17:50:45 +0000 Ginabean3 2166802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: LOL, I actually love the name Charlotte and it's totally from SATC as well! She was my favorite character. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166799 Mon, 04 May 2015 17:42:40 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2166799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't change it. Even if you pick a different name (that you like less) Kim Kardashian or someone may name their baby that and you'd be screwed anyway. It's a beautiful name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166770 Mon, 04 May 2015 17:11:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2166770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could always call her Lottie. :)</p> <p>I'd still use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166757 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:49:53 +0000 DillonLion 2166757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already have a Charlotte and am thrilled about the name choice! I'm glad people will think she's named after Princess Charlotte (even though she's older) instead of where I was really inspired to use the name and that was from Sex and the City, which is more embarrassing to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166596 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:42:22 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2166596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't consider changing it for one second... Mostly because your son picked it. I did joke about several things relating the royal baby's to our own "princess's" arrival, but in the end, really could not care less about any similarities. Hang in there, mama &amp; can't wait to hear about your beautiful Charlotte's arrival! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166538 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:08:17 +0000 simplyfelicity 2166538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I am from in the U.S., people don't seem concerned at all with the royal family. I had totally forgotten the name of their first child. </p> <p>I would go with Charlotte. It's a lovely name and has an even lovelier story behind it. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166501 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:35:44 +0000 marionberry 2166501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't change it. It's special to you. And while you may get those comments off and on for the first year, no one is going to see your daughter five years from now and think to ask if she was named after the royal princess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week/page/2#post-2166331 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:05:07 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2166331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't change it! I like @jedeve's suggestion of making it into a cute story. The name is so beautiful and classic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166314 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:00:00 +0000 shellio 2166314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were in the UK I might consider changing it, but in the US nobody will think twice about it a few weeks from now when all the hubbub is over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166309 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:58:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2166309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would make me second guess myself, but I don't think I would change it. Charlotte is already a very popular name- for a reason, it's beautiful!- so it's not like you are naming your baby after theirs. It will be annoying for the first few months though, as people get their comments out. </p> <p>I had my DD less than two weeks after George was born. I remember being afraid they would have a girl and name her the same we had chosen as our girl name, but we wouldn't have changed the name. We loved the name and it was perfect for our LO, even if a duke and duchess thought t was perfect for theirs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166246 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:38:08 +0000 Ginger333 2166246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't change it - it's a beautiful name!<br /> My daughter is 8 and shares a name with the new princess and I know when she comes home from school today and I tell her she's going to be so excited.<br /> If it wasn't this, it'd be something else - negative nellies will always find something to complain about. I think it's adorable that your son picked her name (he's got good taste!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166181 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:04:51 +0000 mrsjyw 2166181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In your case, I wouldn't change it!</p> <p>If it had been one of many names on a list we had going, I'd probably take it off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166176 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:03:47 +0000 buttermilk 2166176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't change it either! Especially because your due date is so soon! If you still had a few months to go and were feeling strongly about changing it, I'd say to go for it. But your baby is practically already born! :) </p> <p>We named our baby at 20 weeks and I'm so attached to it already, I can't imagine changing it at the last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166169 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:58:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2166169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: me too. Charlotte seems very trendy these days.</p> <p>The name is beautiful and already very popular even without the princess' help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166149 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:51:25 +0000 SeptMomma12 2166149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: Nope, it's Charlotte Audrey :happy: </p> <p>Thank you everyone for talking down a hormonal pregnant lady. I'm feeling much better :happy: There are other girl names I love, but I can't look past the fact this is the name my son chose for her :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166145 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:50:35 +0000 Synchronicity 2166145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you really love the name, use it! It's simple enough to say "we had our hearts set on it, so we decided to go for it anyway"... Hopefully people won't be rude enough to go on about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166130 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:43:34 +0000 jedeve 2166130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fwiw, if the middle name is Elizabeth or Diana I might change it. But I've never been that anti "popular" names (unless they're trendy, which Charlotte isn't.) I think it makes it more fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166104 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:30:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2166104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name, but am kind of surprised they used it. Having said that, a baby on a different continent is unlikely to impact your baby in any way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166097 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:26:56 +0000 dc yoga bee 2166097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally wouldn't change it, and would respond to comments with, "great minds think alike!" I hope it doesn't make you upset, it's not that serious. Charlotte is a popular, and great name :grin: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166089 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:21:24 +0000 coopsmama 2166089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's going to really bother you if people comment about it and you had another name in the running you'd like - I'd change it.</p> <p>If you can deal with the commentary you'll no doubt get in the first month or so and Charlotte was your only name choice absolutely don't give it a second thought and go with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166084 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:18:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 2166084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: My 3 month old is Charlotte Elizabeth. I'm not worried ;) pick what you love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166083 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:18:07 +0000 Bluebonnet 2166083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless your son's name is George, I think you should still name your baby Charlotte. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166075 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:16:17 +0000 Ginabean3 2166075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...still use the name! It's a lovely name and it's been rising in popularity anyways! Besides.....it's not like you're naming your daughter North (like Kim Kardashian.....) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166073 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:16:01 +0000 lamariniere 2166073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: totally agree. Charlotte is such a beautiful, classic name that there are always going to be other Charlottes. It's cool that your son picked it too!</p> <p>I loved Charlotte for our DD, but DH nixed it right away. He clearly has no taste. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166072 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:13:37 +0000 travellingbee 2166072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even remember the boy was George so people forget quickly. Especially in the US. I wouldn't worry about that at all. I assume you were OK with it being a somewhat popular name to begin with (I personally like classic, even popular, names!) so why worry about it now? It wasn't like it was unheard of until now... It's a lovely name. Don't change it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166061 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:08:53 +0000 Keybee 2166061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that people in the states will forget the associate after a few weeks, it always takes me a few minutes to remember "George"<br /> But also I think it would be fun to share a name with a princess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166050 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:04:58 +0000 Madison43 2166050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like this is something that people will comment on early on, but then forget about. A few days before my friend's son was born, a celebrity named her child the same very unique name. It was all anyone commented on for a few weeks, but then it was completely forgotten and no one makes the connection now. If you love it, keep it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166049 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:03:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2166049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I love that name and would keep it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-planning-to-name-a-baby-charlotte-next-week#post-2166042 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:02:03 +0000 NovBaby1112 2166042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't change it! It's not like you picked out a super unique name and they also happened to pick it- Charlotte is such a classic albiat popular name and I don't think anyone will think anything of it! </p>
