Alternatives to Charlie?

Boy Names
1

[name]Just[/name] wondering what names you would suggest for someone who loves the name [name]Charlie[/name] but hates the unisex factor of it.

I think I really like the cheerful nickname feel of it, mostly. Not [name]Charles[/name], just [name]Charlie[/name], by the way.

Thank you!

[name]Archie[/name] comes to mind. Archie really reminds me of Charlie because of the ‘ch’ sound. I can’t think of any that are as close. I think these sound friendly and informal like Charlie- Freddie, Benjy, Ike, Gus,Teddy, Billy, Albie,Tommy, Benny,Joey

I still consider it a very male name myself. And there’s still the [name]Charley[/name] spelling :slight_smile:

Other cheery nicknames-

[name]Alfie[/name]
[name]Archie[/name]
[name]Teddy[/name]
[name]Bobby[/name]
[name]Robbie[/name]
[name]Freddie[/name]
[name]Tommy[/name]
[name]Harry[/name]
[name]Louie[/name]
[name]Georgie[/name]
[name]Danny[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Billy[/name]

Actually, I really love [name]Charlie[/name] & [name]Harry[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name] & [name]Freddie[/name] together as brothers! So are any of these suitable alternatives? :slight_smile:

[name]Archie[/name] has been my first thought too. I like [name]Alfie[/name] but the husband doesn’t. I like [name]Teddy[/name] quite a bit also. We considered using [name]Ace[/name] as a nickname for a few names we had liked - [name]Archer[/name], [name]Asa[/name] and [name]Alasdair[/name].

I don’t have any more suggestions to add, but I think any -ie/-y ending nickname for a traditional name works well. Kudos to these suggestions:
[name]Archie[/name]
[name]Freddie[/name]
[name]Billy[/name]
[name]Alfie[/name]
[name]Teddy[/name]
[name]Bobby[/name]
[name]Robbie[/name]
[name]Tommy[/name]
[name]Harry[/name]
[name]Louie[/name]
[name]Georgie[/name]
and
[name]Jack[/name]

My first thought was [name]Frankie[/name], but I think [name]Archie[/name], [name]Teddy[/name], and [name]Harry[/name] are very similar as well! :slight_smile:
