Can I Name a Baby Charlotte in Charlotte?

and if its the spelling I know a girl and her name is Charlotte but spelled Charlet i see no reason u cant call ur baby Charlotte either

I agree, It is a beautiful name. My daughter named her first child Brea,,Sounds like( Braya) They lived in Brea California and then there are the Brea Tar Pits LOL But is still a very nice name. So I think if it sounds pretty or nice in the case of a male name, then go for it.

And some people are just too cranky and have too much time on their hands to complain about a simple question.

My question to you? Why do you care so much?????????????

Smile, life is too short to be a grouchy old poster :)

You might think its a stupid question but your answer was just as stupid if not more so. You have too much time on your hands if you felt it necassary to speak out about someone elses questions. Why not make better use of your time and think about why youre so nasty and judgmental. Maybe you can change your ways and be a nicer happier person.

i see it this way its her kids let her name whatever she wants to and forget what everybody else thinks.

I agree, Carol. What the article really begs is have the current generations gotten so stupid that they have to ask something like this? Here it is, in little bites: Lots of 'places' have 'people' names, boys and girls. If you like a traditional name like Charlotte, I doubt anyone will ask you if it's because you like the name or that you wanted to name your child after a place, even though you live in North Carolina. Surely the populace there hasn't embraced the notion that Charlotte is only a place name since a place in NC is called Charlotte. (Charlotte as a people name is older than Charlotte as a place name, boys and girls). ;)

Our youth can barely think for themselves. Before anyone calls me a hater, etc., I just consider it my responsibility, as a dinosaur, to attack and stomp out stupidity at the root whenever I see it.

Have a good evening, boys and girls! Miss Common Sense signing out!

Yeah, I know Carol, I get it. What would she do if the answer was, "No, you absolutely cannot name your baby that" ? If she feels she needs permission from a total stranger on what she can and cannot name her baby then that baby is in for a real treat of a mom.

I agree 100%

What parents name a child will last forever. Trying to be 'cute' or (worse) 'pretend-ethnic' or (even worse) using 8 random Scrabble letters will always be detrimental to that child. Kids tease over little things all the time but if another kid has a silly name like "Charylettae" or "J'Kan'Tesh'-ickyee" then that child will be targeted by other kids and adults when they try to make friends, get a job, find a mate, etc. Of course, if the child has at least twice the number of working brain cells than his/her parents put together, they will probably, sensibly, change their name in adulthood to something they can be proud of. Why make a child suffer endlessly because their parents were incredibly stupid?

Yuck..sorry but never would that appeal to me as a persons name.

I like that. I love California and I've always like the name Cali. Good job!

And "Sue", doesn't that have something to do with going to court?
