Thoughts on Charlie

I’m considering this as a nickname. I’m not sure what longer name to use to get the nickname. I know [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is a possibility, but I’d like something a little less popular. Any ideas? What type of girl or woman do you picture with this nickname? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like it? All ideas and opinions appreciated!

I like be the nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]! Full. Full name could be [name_f]Charlene[/name_f].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] for both genders! On a girl, I see [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] as sunny, positive and smart. Maybe a little cheeky. It’s a bright, peppy name.

I think [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] could be a viable nickname for any [name_m]Charles[/name_m]-derived names: [name_f]Charlene[/name_f] (as suggested), [name_f]Charlize[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f], [name_f]Carol[/name_f], [name_f]Carlotta[/name_f]…

Other options could be [name_f]Araceli[/name_f], [name_u]Chandler[/name_u], [name_f]Cherilyn[/name_f], [name_f]Cheryl[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Marchella[/name_f]…

[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] isn’t my style for a girl but You should choose what you love. I really like [name_f]Charlize[/name_f] and it gives her a more formal, feminine name to use later if she chooses.

I’ve met a surprising number of wee ones called [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], of both genders, since the birth of my son [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. The girls called [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] have all been [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] on their birth certificate. (Yes, I ask - I also ask if the boys called [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] are actually [name_m]Charles[/name_m], and 90% of them have been. I’m in NYC).

[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is adorable and friendly sounding. I suppose you could use it on its own. I also like the full name suggestion of [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]–why not. :slight_smile:

I would use [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] all on its own… Adorable!!! :slight_smile:

I actually like just [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] on the birth certificate myself - I know several girls who are in fact just named [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. I also like the [name_f]Charleigh[/name_f] spelling.

I really dislike [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] on girls (I even have an extended family member who chose it for her daughter, and I still really really really don’t like it)
