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

Just looks like someone couldn't spell Charlie.

Nah

I think it's an awful way to spell it, as is Charly. Please spell it properly and please let it be short for Charlotte otherwise it's awful.

I have a 'without an E' name. Nobody listens. Everybody spells it wrong. I get massively annoyed bc it's basic stuff to listen and write but people insists on continuing to write until they have added the E.

'No, it doesn't have an E on the end'

'Oh ok' does nothing 'so, your address?'

'My name still doesn't have en E on the end of it'

'Oh,????'

Please don't do that to your child

People will think you've named her for Charli XCX or Charli D'Amelio. Charli XCX's real first name is Charlotte, by the way. I would use Charlotte, which lets her make her own mind up about nicknames later. I know several adults who don't like that they only have a nickname version of their name.

I know a Charly and it's suits her well. Definitely not chavvy.

Definitely go with Charlotte ' then she can change the spelling of her nickname if she doesn't like it

Chav way of spelling Charlie.

love it, but charli on a birth certificate doesn't really look right. charlotte grace has a lovely classic sound. personally, i prefer just plain charlie a nn for charlotte. also, charli and grace are the first and middle names of a tiktok creator, so you may get a look or two from younger generation z. personally charlie grace, short for charlotte grace, is the way i would go.

aoibhacado · 21/12/2022 16:28

also, if you call her charlotte, she could also go by lottie. i would go with charlie because then there wouldn't be any awkward "actually, there's no e at the end" situations.

Charlie is a lovely name for a girl - or a boy - but spell it right! Missing the -e just looks like a mistake.
