Charlotte has been in the top five in the US, UK, and Australia for years.
French origin, the feminine form of Charles, meaning “free woman.” Royally endorsed in the most literal sense — Princess Charlotte of Wales, daughter of Prince William and Catherine, made it surge globally when she was born in 2015. It has been carried by queens and literary characters and serious women across centuries. It earns its popularity every single time.
Three syllables, ending on that soft -ette sound. Short middle names land particularly well because they give Charlotte room to breathe. But long middle names work too when the last name is short. Say the full name out loud and the right rhythm will be obvious.
