HelpCharlotte
I loved Charlotte when I first started posting almost three years ago, but it went through its moment, and I had to shy away from it because it was everywhere! It has subsided to the point that I think it would be usable again maybe. + Even though its popularity is still high overall, I don't hear it around my area often at all.
1. WDYT of it in general and its popularity? I wouldn't actually be using it for another few years.
2. Combo I'm thinking of at the moment is Charlotte Bellamy. Bellamy is a name my sister "invented" that is growing on me. She thought of it in French class from belle amie, which is "beautiful friend." I like it's "etymology," and it would be a way to honor her indirectly (since there's no way I'd ever use Jessica! haha).
3. Other combo suggestions would be appreciated.

I like Charlotte but only as a middle name I love the combo Alessandra Charlotte, i never really heard it on newborns around my area either and i only knew 2 at school, but since coming to uni i meet them on a daily basis, live with one, its just so common among 18-19 yr olds seemingly lol, as is Rachel, at least at my uni anyway so it's kind of put me off abit

Love Charlotte. Even if it were the number one name and were still "everywhere," it beats Brittany, Neveah and Madison hands down.
By the way, Bellamy is a surname. It is the name of the (fictional) family on the British soap opera / Masterpiece Theater classic "Upstairs / Downstairs." If I met a Charlotte Bellamy, I would assume her mother's maiden name (or other family surname) was Bellamy. Charlotte Amelie or Charlotte Belphoebe?

I absolutely love Charlotte, and when I really love something its popularity just has to be ignored. It has a lovely sound and it doesnt end with ella or lia or ana or ia ,yet it still sounds very soft and feminine.Even though it does rank high on the popularity list I have only heard of 1 baby being named this recently and I dont know anyone else with it. (where have all the Charlotte's gone?)
Bellamy I'm not sure about. It isnt offensive or anything, just not my style I guess.
i like:
Charlotte Evangeline
Charlotte Rosalie
Charlotte Ofelia
Charlotte Elisabeth
Charlotte Isabelle
Charlotte Arielle
Charlotte Anabelle
Charlotte Arabella

I adore the name Charlotte. I don't think its too popular to actually use, and Bellamy is a great name.

It's... ok. Nothing I get excited about at all but nothing bad either. I associate it very strongly with Sex and the City, as I've only ever know one other Charlotte and she went by Charlie. I'm sure they are out there, but so far I've never met a child with this name.

I love Charlotte! It's not popular at all where I am. I know one Charlotte who is a high school senior and that's it.
As a rule I hate invented names, though this is one of the better ones. However, I don't think it's all that different from naming your daughter Beautiful Friend, to be honest. To honor your sister, why not use Jessamine or Jasmine? Or does she have a favorite name that you like too (and she isn't going to use)?

Bellamy isn't invented. It has a history as a surname. I (the sister in question) recalled it one day in French and thought it would make a great girls' first name, given the 'belle amie' etymology. Now, if we lived in a French speaking country I agree it would be somewhat odd. But unless I actually named someone Beautiful Friend... most names have word origins, so would naming someone Lucy be the same as naming the child Light to you? What about Charles? Let's just call him Man.

I love Charlotte Bellamy
It's a great way to honor your sister as well as just having a very cool and beautiful sound. Two thumbs up.

I'm delighted that you finally like it - I remember you first didn't like it because it was surnamey. And I'm "honored". :) And I think it sounds awesome and would LOVE if you ever used it.
When I was suggesting new names for you a week ago, did I say Charlotte? I meant to.

1. Charlotte was one I was fond of for a good long while, first with the nn Lotte (prn. like Lottie), and then nn Tatty. I still like it, but the popularity is just too much for me, and probably will be in five years, too.
2. Your sister didn't invent Bellamy--it has prior use as both a first name and a surname (think the actor Ralph Bellamy). But if you associate it with her, that's cool in itself.
3. Off to dinner, but maybe later?

Yeah, she acknowledged in her own posts about it that she assumed other people were using it anyway, which is why she adopted that spelling and didn't use something more reminiscient of why she thought of it. I just associate it with her, so I attribute it to her.
