[Opinions] Re: Charles
in reply to a message by Billina
I like Charles really quite a lot. I'm even prepared to forgive it for its close connection to the future Charles III, if indeed he chooses to be known as Charles III and not Jason or Aethelraed.
I wouldn't use it myself, simply because there are so many names I like better.
The only nn for Charles that I've ever seen IRL is Charlie. Except for one guy known as Chip to distinguish him from his father, Chuck, and grandfather, Charlie. Presumably his great-grandfather was just plain Charles, but I didn't ask. Anyway, he was a lawyer from California so he isn't evidence where I live.
