Wow, if you don't mind me asking, but is Charles dated? To what decade?

If anything, Carl seems way more dated, whereas Charles has always seen constant use, in every country from royalty to common men, Carl basically came out of nowhere, peaked in the 1910's and then disappeared pretty fast!

Yes, and isn't Karl a royal name there? I think there were many kings named Karl (or a combo with it), so it hardly came out of nowhere.
