Name help

OK so my boyfriend and I found out we are have a lil boy....now the hard part is finding a name!!! he really wants to name him Charles (after his step dad) but im not fond on the name i said it will be ok for a middld name!! but he really been bugging me about naming him Charles.....So my two question what do you think about the name and should i just name my baby Charles cuz it means alot to my boyfriend??? If i did say yes to Charles I would kinda want the middle name to be Ruben after my dad...so i guess three question.... Does Charles Ruben Mernack sound bad??

Aww. I think it's cute. I love the name charlie too.

Quoting .Haley.:“ Aww. I think it's cute. I love the name charlie too.”

Im scared that it is to ols fashion..but i like charlie for a nick name instead of chuck

I like either Charles Ruben or Ruben Charles. Do you know what Charles means? It has a wonderful meaning!

I think it sounds fine together! Charles is not a bad name, granted it's not completely unique, but there's not a lot of charles around these days.. I went to school with some brothers, the dad named themboth Charles with different middle names.. They went by their middle names..

well my bf looked it up and he says it means a manly name or something like that....he is really set on it and thinks i should let him decide since we are having a boy....he says my opionion does matter but he really wants to name the baby charles should i just name the baby charles then even tho i really dont care for it??

My hubby is named Charles... and lets just say it's a bit too stuffy. It sounds so I don't know royal like Prince Charles the 3rd or something.. and he ended up being Chuck. Which suits him way better than Charles, he's just too much fun to be called Charles.. And yeah Charlie doesn't suit him either, plus it always makes me want to add "and the chocolate factory" everytime I say it.. Anyway at least Charles has lots of nicknames? lol.. Good luck. (and now I want to put good luck chuck.. gahh)

Charles means "strong & manly." I like the meaning very much. If you really don't want it as a first name, try to compromise with the hubby about using it as the middle name. After all, I don't think you should have to live with something you totally dislike. Tell him he insists on naming him that, and the child hates it, you will totally tell him that his dad insisted. My dad insisted on Ashley, mom hated it. I hate it, so mom always told me exactly whose fault it was that I have this name. I am still irked at my father about that. LMAO

thats wat i told my boyfriend i wanted to do!! use it as a middle at first he was ok with it but for some reason last night he insisted that he wanted as the first name and it would be so much to him..but i feel that im not completely saying no but im not sure

Well you guys have a little while to work it out. Don't stress too much. Just explain to him that you really would prefer something else for a first name.

I know its just hard!! he had a lil buzz going on last night so i think that is why he is so persitate...but i hope we can figure something out...it tooks up almost a month to name are darn dog..so it was no name for a while lol

When my hubby suggested our daughter's name when I was pregnant, I was very "meh" about the name, it wasn't something I thought I cared for.. But once she was born, that's what we named her.. It's a complete fit to her and her personality. I can't imagine her with any other name.. So you never know, you might change your mind too lol

its kinda growing on me but i just think its so old fashing that it would suit a little boy but they do grow up and it is a very strong name

Ah yes, I completely understand .. My daughter's name is from back in the day too
