Charli for a girl?

I have met about 2 female Charlies in the past but they spelt it "charley" but I'm not particularly keen on that spelling

Is Charli spelt this way nice for a girl?

It seems more feminine than Charlie or Charley to me

Charlie is a much nicer spelling.

It looks a bit incomplete to me, and the 'ie' ending looks softer. I'd have Charlotte on the birth certificate, though, so she has more options when she's older.

I know a couple of girl Charlies, but the Charli spelling is awful.

I've met a couple of female Charlies and there's also Charlie Dimmock, so am used to thinking of it as a unisex name. Charli seems unfinished and I'd wonder if it was pronounced Sharly.

I'd assume you'd spelled it wrong.

Charlie is nice though.

It looks like a typo for Charlie to me.

Agree. It looks like the e on the keypad didn't work, or as if you're trying to sound exotic.

Fine as a nickname but really not as a full name no.

Noooooo as I said on a thread earlier, spelling a name in a 'younique' way and putting an i on the end of it always screams chav and makes it sound like a stripper name.
What about calling her Charlotte and then having Charli spelt however you like as her nn. Charlotte Grace sounds lovely too.

One of my old school friends spells her name charli, I love it.
