Charlie, for a girl

[home-to-me.livejournal.com]

Recently, I really like the name (well, nickname) Charlie for a girl. My mom was called Charlie by some of her girl friends (her last name was McCarthy, so that's where that came from), and someone I know randomly decided to call me Charlie one day (not knowing it was also my mom's nickname). Anyway, I think it's sort of cute for a girl. The full name Charlotte is okay, but I don't really see myself using it. And I really don't like Charlene, and can't think of any other "char" names. Also, my mom's name was Margaret Mary, which is also my real name (I haven't really used it since I was like fifteen), and I really don't think I like it enough to pass it on (MAYBE using Margaret as a middle name somewhere), but I could call a girl Charlie in honor of my mom, without actually using her name, ya know?

Would it be too big of a stretch to have a girl and name her Caroline and call her Charlie?

I also like Joey for a girl, but can't think of any names I like where I could use Joey (I don't like Josephine enough to use it, or Joanna or Johanna).

Oooh, I like Joceline spelled that way.

Would it be weird to have a Caroline and a Joceline, and then end up maybe having another baby with a completely different name? Just because the two end in -line?

well, i wouldn't do it because i tend to be slightly ocd about somethings.. so, i'd have to follow the trend and give them all names ending in -line..
