Princess-
As you have seen from my post, I had a similar dilemna. First off, I love the name Charlotte. And Charlotte Rose is gorgeous. I agree that Charlotte Lynn doesn't flow, too many "L"s too close together. However, I completely understand the sentiment. I too am naming after a dear family member. But, I am using the middle name Kate after my cousin who was actually named Katie. So, maybe you could find something similar to Lynn like Charlotte Malynn or something. I think in the end though, it comes down to what you really want. And I actually like the spelling Mae.
On the other hand, even though I want to name after family, I am still skeptical. See, I was named after my grandmother Martha Grace Ingram. Hence the spelling of my name Magi. Her initials with an extra letter thrown in. So I always kinda felt like I didn't get my own name. So using something that has never been used before has its benefits too.

Thank You so much for you reply. It was very helpful to me. And as far as your post goes. Anna Kate is a beautiful name. I don't feel that Anna is to over used because it fits in the classic category. You see there are trendy overused names that become to popular that they become very boring. Then there are the classic names that are popular but classic and not boring and don't feel over used. Anna fits in that category. Its a beautiful name and goes well with Kate. Anna Kate is a good choice. But atleast you have some varieties incase you decide to go a little different. Thanks again for replying to my post :)
And thank you for replying to mine!
