Comments and insights on the name Charles

Personal experiences with the name Charles

My Granddad was called Charles, he always went by Charlie. I think it's a good name as it can be anything you want it to be with by using nicknames. I think it goes nicely with Alexander as a middle name.

I read the comment above, and I agree. Charles is the best name I can think of because, like said above, it can be almost anything with nicknames. I agree that it goes great with Alexander, and I have always thought it goes fantastic with Joseph as a middle name. Charles is so SEXY, SMART, FREINDLY, PERFECT, AMAZING, FANTASTICALICIOUS, AND THE BEST KISSER EVER. EVEN BETTER THAN DANTE.
