Charlie or Charley??

[sryan]

This is our chosen boys name, however me and my partner cannot agree on the spelling! I prefer the 'ley' spelling but he insists that's the girl version! Opinions please! X

Charlie = boy
Charley -= girl

Hth

agree with your DP and mardy

Agree with your dp. Charley is def girl. Definately

Charley is hideous even for a girl, sorry

Charlie for a boy, but why not call him Charles officially and have Charlie as his day-to-day nickname?

Agree with slightly. Charles is better with nickname Charlie. Charley is how you spell it for a girl which is IMHO awful.

Agree with everyone else. Charlie = boy (I like), Charley = girl (terrible name for a girl). I would also put Charles on BC and use Charlie as a nn. Will give him more options in the future.

It's not always -ley for a girl...unless Charley Boorman is a woman in disguise.

Someone's beaten me to it, I was going to say Charley Boorman too. Mr Boorman is surely living every little boys dream? He was an actor, his best friend is Ewan MacGregor, he now gives his job title as professional adventurer and I know he also acts as an off road motorcycling instructor in Wales if you can afford him. Nothing girly about CB... except the hair.

Agree with your dp sorry!

Charlie is fine, no need to have Charles IMO

Charlie for a boy, but put Charles on his birth certificate. Charley is a public information film cat.

Put Charles on his BC and let him choose his nickname (my dad has gone through life being called different variants of Charles by different groups of friends - at least my mum always knows where people know him from depending on the name they use).

Charlie.

But really I prefer it as a girl's name (still spelled Charlie)

And I always think you should give children full names so they have the choice.

Charley is made up spelling.
Use Charlie.

Charlie is a nickname.
Charles is the name.
Charley is just your hormones talking.
