Chelsey or Chelsie?

[DreamyBerry]

Good evening!
So now DH and me are lingering between these two spellings, which we both love. We like Chelsey because it's kind of more mature and not that girly and cutesy. But the problem is, we feel like there's too many E's in this spelling, which sometimes really annoy us. And that leads us to our second choice: Chelsie. We love that how it ends in -ie, which will fit her as a little girl and a teenager for quite some time, and is still not that cutesy and childish when it comes to an adult.
So, that's basically our thought. What do you guys think? Which one should we go with? And why?
Thanks

Ch*l-si?

I would say them very slightly differently.

Order of preference:
Chelsea
Chelsey
Chelsie

How about Becca (nickname Tooting)?

there's too many E's in this spelling, which sometimes really annoy us.

Why do E's annoy you both?

I don't think I've ever been annoyed by an E.

I'm very confused and quite frankly concerned that you can't count how many E's are in each spelling of the not great name you've chosen for your newborn.

Sorry, none of the above.

For such a horrible name I can't believe how common it is so for that reason alone I would not choose it.

Chelsie is absolutely awful and would make me think of a dog always

Unless it’s twins and you name the other Kensington (sorry if that’s already been done )

They both have two Es in it

But if you have to choose then go for Chelsey. Chelsie is awful

I don't like Chelsea it's the football team.

You can’t call a child Chiswick, you’ll be forever correcting the pronunciation.

Wembley has a nice sound to it.

I prefer Chelsy to either of your spellings, but would pick Chelsie over Chelsey if someone was holding a gun to my head in the register office and I had to pick one of them for my newborn daughter.

To be clear, those are the only circumstances in which I would pick the name, regardless of spelling.

LOL at Chardonnay: “No, CHIZick, not CHIS-WICK!” Her brother Lay-sester has the same problem.

Isn't there the same amount of 'e's.

What if she doesn’t like football and/or reality tv????

I think most people would assume it’s actually Chelsea. Why mess with a name? My name is quite traditional I suppose and it can be spelt 4 different ways. Please give your kid a normal name not your version of that name.

My name is spelt Chelsie. I had a girls in school also called Chelsea/Chelsie. Never met a dog called Chelsie!

Penge.

I would read Chelsey as being pronounced with a z, rather like Lesley. Chelsie as a slightly abbreviated version of Chelsea, with the emphasis on the end rather than the even pronunciation ie Chel-Si ! rather than Chel-Sea. It makes it seem more cutsie.

My DD1 has a short name that ends in an A - not a made up one or that unusual, but there is a name that is quite close - think Julia vs Julie or Anna vs Anne . She has to correct the lopping off of her final vowel all the time and that is with a quite traditional name without any ‘special’ spelling.

Chelsey although I don't like either. Reminds me of a cheap brand of clothing. In fact, in sure it is. Both Chelsey and Chelsie

You must be having a laugh.

No wonder the OP hasn't come back. What horrible bitches you're being.

Oh, I think the OP would have known what she was getting into posting this.

Both awful and setting your DD up for a lifetime of having to correct people's spelling which will be deeply tiresome and she won't forgive you.

“No, CHIZick, not CHIS-WICK!”

I actually think little Chizzy would fit in pretty well at pony club with Bunty and Jocasta.

Neither, I would think you were illiterate.

No wonder the OP hasn't come back. What horrible bitches you're being.

The OP started it, she insulted the letter 'e'.

Fucking snobbish behaviour on here, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

For the record, OP, I'm in the UK and have taught 2 Chelseys and a Chelsie without any problems spelling their names. I like them both. Also, all the Chelseas, Chelseys and Chelsies I've taught have been lovely, lovely girls.
