Having first girl after two boys. Boys names are Ford & Hudson, I like that they both sound preppy. I am very girly and like girly sounding pretty names. I am stuck between Charlotte and Everly, both sound so pretty to me just not sure what sounds better with the boys names? Husband and I are split down the middle, worry that Charlotte will get a nickname because its long and not a fan of that, really just love the full name Charlotte but and I being unrealistic it will eventually be shortened? Loved the name Everly since the moment I heard it, also love that it\u2019s not as long and not as popular as Charlotte as it\u2019s no fun being 1 of 3 in a class.<\/p>\n

Thoughts, honest opinion, baby is due in a month May 2018!<\/p>\n

Thank you!!!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For sibling-name compatibility in both style and popularity, I vote for Everly. It fits well with your preference for preppy and with your preference for pretty. Right now Charlotte is in the Top Ten and Everly is just outside the Top 100—though rising rather rapidly, considering how recently it entered the Top 1000:<\/p>\n

But it’s very common for parents to choose a different style for the boys in the family than for the girls in the family, so I don’t think Charlotte is at all jarring with the brother names, and in fact I very much like the sound of it; those three names together give me a pleasing Early American feel. I do think the name Charlotte lends itself well to nicknames—but it’s only two syllables long, and we are living in an age when it’s common for kids to be William and Abigail rather than Billy and Abby, so until she’s of the age to choose for herself if she wants a nickname, I think you won’t have much trouble getting her called by her full name. She may, however, decide she wants to be called Charlie or Lottie, so if you hate the nicknames then that’s another point in favor of Everly. On the other hand, Everly is three syllables to Charlotte’s two, and the nickname Evvie is a possibility.<\/p>\n

Well, both names seem good to me in their own ways, so I am not much help! Let’s see what the commenters think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
