I'm a female Charlie.
Hate it when people spell it Charley so I'd definitely go ie.
And please don't do Lottie to her - I would kill anyone who tried that one on me.

I wanted dd to be charlie, but as you can tell by mum mumsnet name the cat ended up with it instead :(
Dp wouldnt go with it. Theres a charlie in her class and im rather

My maiden name was to blame for that one fio. My siblings all had the same nickname, as did my Dad. Betcha can't guess my old surname, eh?

Chandra · 31/05/2006 14:37

Erm... none, I would love it it as a nickname but not as a real name. I have been trying to find similar names in a baby name website but no luck.

It's fun. Maybe I'M chav!

nailpolish · 31/05/2006 14:28

dd2 here is a Kirstie (as in location location)

EVERYONE thinks its Kirsty and i get annoyed

even my mother gets it wrong

so sticking with Charlie as everyone will assume might be better for your blood pressure

SSSandy · 31/05/2006 14:27

ok got it now, thanks!

sugarfree · 31/05/2006 14:26

Because proper chavs go out of the way to make the name as awkward to spell as possible.

SSSandy · 31/05/2006 14:26

(I realise the mother has spoken - Charlie Jayne)

nailpolish · 31/05/2006 14:26

neither charley or charlie is chav imo

but i prefer charlie

SSSandy · 31/05/2006 14:25

dunno if I get this chav business but why isn't Charley chav?

sugarfree · 31/05/2006 14:24

Yes,I know,thats why I put them in,implying that neither Charlie or Charley are chav.

jangly · 31/05/2006 14:24

jangly · 31/05/2006 14:23

dressedupnowheretogo · 31/05/2006 14:23

i DO NOT agree that shortened names are bad for those in authority etc

my name is a shortened version of another name and i love it

dont like the proper non-shortened version, and neither did my parents

SSSandy · 31/05/2006 14:21

How about 2 t's?

jangly · 31/05/2006 14:20

Charlotte with 2 l's even!
