Talk about a "Good Time Charlie"! Based on his name Charlie will want routine & order in his life - so better make sure his diapers are changed & his nap time is on schedule! He won't be afraid to go after what he wants & he'll do this by using his wit. Charlie will have a good work ethic which will come in handy - since he'll love to set himself apart from others. Charlie is REALLY gonna love money & the comforts of life so good thing mom & dad are the successful Julie Chen & Leslie Moonves!

Could it be that his name is Charlie Moonves? Even if it isn't, who cares. He's not your son.
