Charles
What do you think of Charles?
I've never liked it before, and I've also had some bad associations with it but they aren't as strong anymore. I've always loved Charlie though, and this week I've started to like other nicknames like Chuck as well.So, what do you think of it? Any FN/MN suggestions?

I find Charles stiff, dull, and uninspired.
Charlie is adorable.
Chuck makes me gag. It's one of my least favorite names.

I like Charles. It's a little formal sounding on its own, although I think it sounds fine once the child is an adult. It's a bit heavy on a child, if you know what I mean. Personally, I like the nn Chaz. I think it's fun. Charlie is cute too, but it works a lot better on a child than on an adult. An adult with the name Charlie really has to have the right personality to pull it off. Charles Anthony

Charles is my BIL. So in theory it could have been a name of a child of mine. So I've done a bit of pondering on the name. I love the formal name Charles and nn Charlie. But I'm not as keen on nn Chuck. Then it occurred to me that Cary *could* also be a nn for it. I don't know if I could have convinced dh of using that nn, but I would have loved a little Charles, nn Cary. :-)Charles Emmett
