UK Baby Names

Charlotte is a Top 10 name now and Charlie is hugely popular for both girls and boys, along with Charlee, Charli, Charleigh, and Charley for girls. So why does Charla have none of this fashion power? Only five baby girls were named Charla in the US last year.

Charla

Somewhat dashing surname, but with serious teasing potential. 

Blackburn

Birtle

Though they sound exactly alike, this spelling makes it much more elegant than Bernie. 

Burney

Birney

Burleigh

A nature name evocative of rushing waterfalls and flowing water, with a plausible, name-y sound thanks to it similarity to Cassie, Cassidy, and Cade. 

Cascade

Birley

Birkett

Bickford

Ties to the unfortunate Mama are now unraveling, leaving Cass or Cassie to stand on its own as a fresher sounding Cathy or Kate. With gender-neutral names abound and the growing trend of boyish nicknames for girls, Cass may be on the up and up. 

Cass

Many C forms of this name are becoming more popular, from Cassia for girls to Cassian, Cassius, and Caspian for boys, so Kass feels more possible today too. And Kassia and Kassiani are both intriguing longer forms.

Kass

One step up from Irwin, and that's not nearly enough. 

Berwin

Katherynn

Berton

We're hearing Kat more and more being used by Katherines who are tired of Kathy, Kate and Katie. Katti or Kattie is another possibility.

Berold is one of the more obscure boy names meaning bear, which also include Arthur, Orson, and (in a different vein) Teddy.

Berold

Variation of Katherine or more specifically, Kathryn, that is sure to add complications.

Kathryne

Kathrinna

Beresford
