Charlie as a girl's name?

Question

I absolutely love it but was wondering if its a nickname for anything other than Charlotte(really not to my liking).

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

My 7 year old has that name (Charleigh Jade) & it really suits her. I think it makes total sense as the girl’s way of spelling Lee is L-E-I-G-H!!! We chose to give her a short middle name as 9 letters is quite long for a first name. Also deliberately looked for 2 letters that went well together so that she can shorten it when she gets older if she chooses to (we thought C-J sounded pretty good). People soon learn to spell it right & as soon as she was old enough (about 2 & half) she’d point it out to them if they got it wrong!! Most people ask how to spell it anyway as there’s so many different ways of spelling it for girls. Most annoying when people ASSUME that it’s short for Charlotte & start calling her the totally wrong name! Hope this helped. x
