It doesn't feel like it should be so popular in the US, for me, I feel like less British names would be a thing and I know Charlotte is French as well but it just feels British lately. Caroline is personally so much prettier to me.

I used to hate it for years, but it grew on me with the young British princess.

Nice

Normally as a first name, I place this into the "boring but harmless" pile

I still like it as a middle name if it is paired right with something with a little more flavor

I’d like it a lot more if it weren’t such a fad, but I don’t care for either sound in the name. Char and Lot are both unattractive to me. Lottie as a nickname skeeves me out with its gross sound and Charlie is too cutesy tomboy in a 90s movie kind of way.

I like Charlotte. It's a great name in my opinion. It's overused and it's still rising.

I love Charlotte. You could use Char, Charlie, or Lottie/Lotte as a nn. However, if you don't like it, I'd choose something else.

I actually really like it and it makes me sad that it's becoming so overused.

I absolutely detest it to the limits of my soul. I have a very terrible aunt named Charlotte so that's my hang up with it.

I love it

I like Lottie, but not Charlotte. I prefer Carlotta.

Yes. It reminds me of the kind of apple pie where the apples are very tart but covered with enough brown sugar and cinnamon to make it a comforting, but not pillowy taste.

It’s very sweet, but it’s so overdone. I wouldn’t use it myself. Lottie is my favourite nn.

I have never liked Charlotte: the sound and the appearance are unattractive to me, and the fact that I see the (dated and pejorative, which makes it worse) word 'harlot' inside it does not help at all. And the nns! Charlie, Sharley, Lottie, Lots ... yuck.

I don't mind it as much in French: it sounds better, but it doesn't make the top half of the list there either.

It’s ok, but kind of dull.

I love Charlotte; I think it's a beautiful, elegant, classic name. I like the nicknames Lottie and Lotta but Charlie is my favorite. Despite its popularity, I don't know too many, so I'm not bored of it yet. Perhaps it would benefit from a more unique middle name... Charlotte Wren? Charlotte Amara? Charlotte Emerald? Charlotte Estelle?
