Chelsey or Chelsie?

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

You all sound like chavvy dickheads.
Who sneers over a child’s name?
Very déclassé

You appear to be under the misapprehension that anyone gives a fuck.

People ask the opinion of others, if you don't want to know what other people think, don't ask.

Chelsea. It gets extremely tiring having to spell your name out because your parents wanted to be youuneeeek.

Well, you clearly have a fuck enough to respond lol 😂

SparkiePolastri · 08/03/2019 18:00

🤷🏻‍♀️ Why wouldn't Silvery respond, if she's already engaged with the topic?

I agree with her - nobody does care if some faceless internet random thinks people are being judgy / 'chavvy' / déclassé / whatever on an anonymous forum.

Yes, I am judgy. About many things. And I think this thread is inadvertently hilarious. I have only myself to answer to, so that being the case, all is a-OK in my world.

PreseaCombatir · 08/03/2019 18:14

You don't make sense.

‘Don’t post if you don’t want to hear people’s opinions.

Someone posts an opinion

‘No one cares about your opinion!’

Lol

mrsdavys · 08/03/2019 18:19

Chelsea is the best and I wouldn’t bother trying to spell it differently.
Don’t like the name and it does seem to have certain negative connotations for a lot of people I.e chavvy

DParse · 08/03/2019 18:26

Larry, standing in a shop, not stood.

Bratty behaviour, anyway. I have an unusual name (not weird or a mis-spelling), and I managed to survive a 70s/80s childhood without having my name on a pencil.

As for names: Chelsea, Chelsie and Chelsey are all awful.

SparkiePolastri · 08/03/2019 19:17

@PreseaCombatir - your logic doesn't quite follow, but never mind. The OP has asked for opinions.

You - random poster to the thread - are then free to share yours on people who haven't asked for it, but don't be too surprised if the people it's directed at aren't overly bothered, or even dismiss it.

PreseaCombatir · 08/03/2019 19:34

You seem a bit confused Sparkie.

Let me talk you through it so you understand

Silvery highlighted my comment, saying I’m under the misapprehension that anyone gives a fuck about my opinion.

I replied saying that that Silvery clearly gave enough of a fuck to respond to me.

You then pop up, saying silvery was engaged in the conversions so why wouldn’t she respond?

You - random poster to the thread - are then free to share yours on people who haven't asked for it

I’m free to share my opinion with someone who has quoted my post?!? Gee thanks, sparkie! Lol 😂

SparkiePolastri · 08/03/2019 19:41

Ok, crack on then with your telling people off. Your opinion is important to us.

PreseaCombatir · 08/03/2019 19:44

I don’t care if it is or isn’t.
It’s a public forum 🤦‍♀️😂

Do you think people think that deeply about anyone’s opinion on here? Lol

PreseaCombatir · 08/03/2019 19:45

How am I ‘telling people off’ you absolute nutter 🤣😆

borntobequiet · 08/03/2019 19:46

Gosh, this is still going.

burritofan · 08/03/2019 19:48

@borntobequiet pretty sure at this point OP has had the baby, named it Chelzee, and Chelzee has had her own kids by now

This thread is amazing.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 08/03/2019 22:06

It’s probably a troll anyway.

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 08/03/2019 22:14

Everyone will think you don't know how to spell your own child's name. Chelsea ffs.

Sweetooth92 · 08/03/2019 22:17

Chelsea. Because this is the only logical option that doesn’t make her parents look like delinquent dicks

MondeoFan · 08/03/2019 22:24

Chelsea

But if you insist Chelsie I think that's how Barbies sister or daughter is spelt.

If it was me I would choose Chelsea otherwise your DD will spend a lifetime correcting people on the spelling

moreursulathanariel · 08/03/2019 22:33

Awful spellings, awful name.

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 08/03/2019 22:33

I know someone with it spelt chelsey, she gets proper pissed if someone spells it the other way because she supports arsenal and doesn’t like the original way of spelling it 😂😂

TrixieFranklin · 08/03/2019 22:36

As an alternative how about Eeeeedith?

IWouldBeSuperb · 08/03/2019 23:32

'Cooper' spelled QPR

I went to school with a Chelcie Grin
