Esme Lily makes an excellent point - the amount of people given a popular name is WAY lower now than it was in the 80s and 90s. Charlotte may be in the top five but depending on where you are, there may only be one other Charlotte in your child's grade. I looked at the most popular names in my city last year, and the #1 name was given to less than 90 babies. The #5 name was given to less than 50 babies, I think. In the whole city! That's not very many! People use so many different names now that it's not like it used to be.

If you like Charlotte best, I think you should use it.
