Just throwing names around for future DC2.

Currently have a Robyn.

We both like Charlie (Charlotte- but only on BC) for a girl.

Do you know a female Charlie? What’s your opinion?

Love it!

abitfunny · 25/11/2019 20:29

Lovely. Cool but not try hard cool

KezzabellaB · 25/11/2019 19:27

Love it! Also love Robyn. Wanted to call my DD Robyn but my ex husband didn't like it. Idiot. Grin

Katfood · 25/11/2019 19:25

Also, Charlie feels kind a natural shot for Charlotte, as the emphasis is on Char!

Katfood · 25/11/2019 19:24

I like it. Charlie is a lovely nickname for Charlotte. More feisty than Lottie,

iloveyoubutilovememore · 25/11/2019 18:29

Love it. I know an adult female Charlie and she's a real individual! Charlotte's boring, but that's just my opinion.

Gallivespian · 25/11/2019 09:02

I think it has a hideous eighties vibe, like Sam for Samantha.

MikeUniformMike · 25/11/2019 08:59

Please don't spell it Charli.

CleanAndPaidFor · 25/11/2019 06:58

Alright Good. So you'll name your child whatever YOU like, regardless. Good outcome.Hmm

BonBon411 · 25/11/2019 02:17

We have a Charlotte in our family who is known as Charlie and it completely suits her.

lisag1969 · 25/11/2019 01:48

Hi I know a few. But I think the girl version is supposed to be spelt. Charley.

Hopingtobeamum · 25/11/2019 00:57

Obviously biased...I'm a Charlotte, sometimes a Charly (as we already had another girl in my class called Charlie), occasionally a Lottie and rarely a 'Lotts'.

I love my name, but I am biased.

Am sure whatever you choose will be right for you x

xTinkerbell · 24/11/2019 23:30

I like it but would spell it Charli for a girl

Yestermost · 24/11/2019 23:17

I love the name Charlie for a girl/woman.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 24/11/2019 23:11

At school, I had three friends called Charlotte, all went by Charlie day to day. It's definitely a fine name for a girl. I like it.

Helenlegs · 24/11/2019 23:08

I really like it as a nn for Charlotte. When she’s old enough she will no doubt have a preference for whether she goes by her full name or Charlie/Lottie. I like names that have scope for a few diminutives.

aibutohavethisusername · 24/11/2019 23:01

I prefer Charlotte but Charlie is OK.

Mamabear88 · 24/11/2019 20:42

Charlotte is lovely, Charlie is not.

5LeafClover · 24/11/2019 20:38

I like it...and it goes really nicely with Robyn.

YesIReallyDoLikeRootBeer · 24/11/2019 20:34

I know one Charlee. That is her name not a nickname.

17caterpillars1mouse · 24/11/2019 20:22

I like it. I know an 11 year old Charley on birth certificate. It's a nice name

MissCharleyP · 24/11/2019 20:09

I’m a Charlotte and my username is how I spell my nickname. I’ve always been Charley, as neither of my parents liked Lottie. People spell it either way though, doesn’t bother me. I have lots of nicknames; Charlie/Charley, Shaz, Chas, Sharles, Charlottie, Lottie Lou....

Well yes Clean but the baby names board would be very quiet with that mentality.

Gathering opinions to ensure you’re not giving your child a name that would cause problems is surely best? But thanks for your input - it was what I was hoping for Hmm

I like it. I've come across several both boy and girl Charlies. It makes a great nickname for Charlotte.

CleanAndPaidFor · 24/11/2019 04:33

Whatever name you suggest on here, some people are going to like it and some aren't. That's just life. What were you hoping for? Name your child whatever YOU like.
