Charlotte/Charlie

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

What do you think of the name Charlotte, with the nickname Charlie?

It's the name of recently deceased family friend, and I am seriously considering it as a name for my baby-in-utero, due in February 2010. (The family friend was born in the 1920's and was not nicknamed Charlie.)


ETA: Forgot to add that Charlotte/Charlie's older sister is named Ruby. I picture calling to them, "Ruby! Charlotte (or Charlie)! Time for dinner!" :)

WDYT of Ruby and Charlotte together?

_{yes, it's wonderful, even more so with the reason you've provided.}

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

Me, too! I love Frankie for a girl.

Charlotte is a wonderful, beautiful, feminine name. I'm sorry, but why ruin it with the nickname Charlie? I've always seen that as a boys' name.

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

I know of Catherine Zeta-Jones' character in high fidelity being called Charlie.

I think it's a nice nickname, even though commonly a boys name.

I know perfectly well of girls called Charlie, i'm just saying I have no idea why you'd want to ruin a perfectly good name with that nickname x]

Charlie is a freaking cute nickname for a little girl, IMO.

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

Each to their own.

THIS!

Charlotte's very nice, but I'm sorry, I hate the nickname Charlie on a girl.

[compulsivelyme.livejournal.com]

oh, icon win.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

My favorite scene in that movie!

[compulsivelyme.livejournal.com]

I love the name Charlotte and it's on my list. My nickname preference is Char, though (pr. Shar).

[sunshinefleur.livejournal.com]

I think the name is gorgeous and the nn Charlie is adorable. go for it!

[sunshinefleur.livejournal.com]

and I like it even better in a sibset with Ruby! (one of my favorite names, which I will never use because I love Scarlett more. oh well)

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I think I will. :)

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I love your username and icon, btw.

I love the name Charlotte so much, and the nickname Charlie. I'm due with a baby girl in one week and I would have definitely named her that if my sister Franki didn't have dibs on it already. She's planning feminine names with boy-ish nicknames for all her potential daughters.

Ruby and Charlotte go well together. Older and less used, but not something you can only picture on an old lady:)

Can't say I have an opinion on Charlie as a nickname, though. I do think of a little boy, like, you name your son Charles and as a young child you call him Charlie until he grows up and wants a grown up name, ya know? But I've also felt that several boy names can be quite charming on a girl.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Love love love it. Absolutely.

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I think Charlotte is gorgeous, and a sibset of Charlotte and Ruby is so cute! Will admit that I can't stand Charlie, though, on a girl OR a boy. Just... never been a fan. (And now there's the whole Charlie the unicorn thing too.)

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

Never heard of Charlie the unicorn...

[bandnerd88.livejournal.com]

It's a silly little set of flash videos about a unicorn named Charlie - I couldn't get through my last year of high school without hearing "Let's go to Candy Mountain, Charlie?" or "It's a maaaaaagical leopluridon, Charlie" at least once a day. Of course, my friends are weird, and I would imagine it's not a hugely well-known reference, but it's all I can think of and I would be tempted to crack jokes about that stuff if I met a Charlie, personally. (I tend to have really weird associations with names though, so....)

oh my gods... I did the stupid little candy land unicorn voice SO good. It was freaky and scary how good my voice can go there... hell sometimes I still say 'we're going to candy land' to people that are annoying and I don't want them tagging along xD most people get it and I live in Venezuela (though to be fair most of my friends speak fluent english)

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I looove Carlota which is the spanish version of it and I used to like Charlotte with the nickname Charlie but then a total bitch ruined it for me =(

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

I love Charlotte, but I don't like the nickname Charlie. Charlotte and Ruby are two of my favorite names, and I think they sound great together.

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

so cute! love it

[lovebird.livejournal.com]

I love it. That's my second favorite girl name with that same nickname. My husband on the other hand not too fond of it lol.

[unmowngrass.livejournal.com]

I love the sibset Ruby and Charlotte. I'm mostly indifferent to Charlie, although seeing as I like the nn Char-lotte (with the CH sound like in chips), I'd probably wind up with it the long way around.

[monkey-fruit.livejournal.com]

Charlotte is growing on me; I think it's soft and feminine. I'm not feeling the nickname Charlie, however, as this always makes me think of a mischievous boy.

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

my daughters name is Charlotte and we call her Charly.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i love love love the name charlotte, and i think charlie is a cute nn :) charlotte (charlie) and ruby make a nice sibset

[ldywati2d.livejournal.com]

I like them as a sibset. I have a Charlotte :-) We don't use nicknames, but if we did, I would use Lottie as hers.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

im really over the whole charlotte craze. it was on my list like a decade ago but there are too many of them now, ive grown so tired of it.

that said, ruby is our number one girls name! :)

[tinyplasticmeat.livejournal.com]

How is it no one's mentioned the nickname Lottie yet? It was very popular for Charlottes in the "olden" days.

Either way, both are beautiful names.

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

I really don't like Lottie at all.
