Re: Girls middle name help
in reply to a message by Katie
Just since it's relevant: my name is Charlotte and my brother's name is Charles. First names. And until he was an adult, he went by Charlie. It was only ever a problem when someone was calling one of us from across the house and both of us would answer.

That sounds confusing. - My cousin goes by Charlie/Char so I know what you mean.

It is/was kind of confusing. We'd also get mail only addressed to our first initial followed by our last name from time to time, and sometimes we'd have to open it to figure out who it was for. But that could happen in any family with two or more with the same initials (my husband's, for example, where all four siblings names' begin with 'K'); we were just the only two C-names out of eight children.

I can imagine that being horrible. My name was going to be Tamsin and with my son being Thomas I'm glad it's not that would be confusing when it came to mail.
