Naming Miss Charlotte







Lillian Claire was our second runner up name when Evy was born so we always imagined we would use that name for our second daughter. During this pregnancy Lillian was a major contender, but we also liked Madeline, Charlotte, and Olivia. We originally crossed Charlotte off the list because we couldn't come up with a cute nickname, but then a friend of a friend used the nickname Charlie and Charlotte was on the list again. Going into delivery day the finalists were Lillian, Charlotte and Madeline. After meeting our baby we eliminated Lillian. Then major indecision set in, which is very unlike me. I normally make decisions quickly without soliciting feedback, but for some reason I was having a lot of trouble with this one. In the end we chose Charlotte Marie because it's A) Adorable and B) More unique than Madeline. Charlotte also happened to win the "Name the baby poll." Thanks for your input! Say hello to Charlotte Marie!

For the record, Evy wanted to name her Heather--Evy's best friend at school.

Congratulations, darling! The old fashioned abbreviated name for "Charlotte" is "Lottie".
