Oh, sorry Magic Mom. I was trying to do a poll but I didn't know how. So I edited to add and posted 4 names.

Any of those would be just fine, but of the ones listed I personally like Charlotte and Michael the best.

I like either of the girls names equally but would choose Henry over Michael any day. I have known four Michaels in my life and they were all quite awful. I'm sure they aren't ALL awful, there must be a few good Michaels somewhere but...I just wouldn't risk it if I were naming a son

Charlotte and Henry

If you are trying to pick a baby name then it would also depend on how the name flowed with the last name. When we were expecting DS3 we had a name picked out that we loved but it just didn't work with our last name so we chose something else.

I like all four names, but I'd choose Charlotte and Henry.

I chose Michael because there seem to be less Michaels than in years past. When I was in elementary school, we always had 2 Michaels in my class, but now that I'm a teacher, I rarely have even one.

According to the link, Michael is the second most common name for baby boys born this year.

Wow was I ever wrong! I thought it was a dying out name! Oh well, there goes Michael.

Maria

Charlotte

Michael

Henry

I like both Maria and Charlotte. Maria sounds a bit fresher, though, since Charlotte has become rather popular lately. I do love the nickname Lottie, though.

Of Michael and Henry, I'd have to choose Henry. Michael is nice (but not a fan of Mike), but Henry is nicer, imo.

Ah, then any of those work but of those given I still like Charlotte and Henry the best.

DD16 has a friend named Charlotte that goes by Charlee. I have always loved the name Henry and it can be shortened to Hank if you want a nickname.

Michael is a strong name as well. Don't let the popularity factor throw you off if you really love a name. When I chose my children's names I didn't know of anyone else with the names we had chosen and as soon as they were born it seemed like there were kids everywhere with the same names!

Oh, then what about Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam? I'm a Jane Austen fan.

 

[momofmikey]

I am biased, but my oldest son is named Michael, and his name continues to be my most favorite boy name. It is a classic and strong name. And for the last 3 years, he has been the only Michael in his class. Oh, and although not an angel, he's a wonderful kid

I also like both Charlotte and Maria

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Charlotte and Henry. My sister just named her new baby Charlotte and for some reason I always forget her name because she doesn't look like a Charlotte at all!! LOL

I think Fitzwilliam is definitely due for a comeback!

I'm not sure about Henry Darcy--I don't know about the repetition of the "ee" sound. It could come across as a bit twee. Especially for a boy, I think the last name Darcy needs a "hard" first name. But that's just my opinion.

I think that Henry Darcy sounds fine but if it were a double sound in the first syllable - like Donald Darcy - then that would be harder to roll off the tongue.

Did we miss an announcement post, Mrs. Darcy?

Henry Darcy sounds like something out of Jane Austen or Bridget Jones.
