Re: So are y'all offended b/c she's wrong or b/c she's right?
in reply to a message by Lily8
By stating that they named a girl "Charles" indicates that it is in the first name position. I think that the fact that it is not in the first name spot indicates that its conclusion was not to put a boy's name on a girl but to honour. This is further highlighted by the clearly feminine first name.In my opinion I reserve the middle name for honouring purposes, and therefore, I love to see whatever name it may be there to serve this purpose.If it means something to their family I think it is wonderful, and I believe that the child will enjoy knowing that they were named after someone that meant so much to their parents.A also prefer to see the orginal names used when honouring.

Okay so this is your opinion and that's fine. But I don't prefer seeing the original guy's name on a girl. I would've preferred Charlotte. End of story. So could you please stop telling me (not only you, Lili) that Charles isn't that bad on a girl? It's your opinion which is fine but mine is that I do not like Charles on a girl, no matter what so may I please be able to give my opinion as well without being criticized????

No problem, sorry I didn't really mean to try and force my opinion on you but I understand how it may have appeared that way.To be clear if they had given the name "Charles" to a girl for the sake of putting a boy's name on a girl I would have been disappointed. And I do not like Charles on a girl, but I do like honouring. - Just to clarify my position, not to influence yours. :)I never meant to criticise your opinion, merely to express mine.
