What are some girl names that could be shortened to Charlie?
I've been thinking a lot about names that would be an imaginary sister to the imaginary Beatrix Adelaide Margaret (nickname Bea - two syllables). I've decided I really like Charlie Wren ______. I like Charlie Wren Scarlett a LOT, but Scarlett is too close to Margaret for me. Any suggestions for Charlie Wren's second middle name? Ideally something that does not end in the -ee or -en sound and is more than one syllable. I'm also shying away from R's for the second middle because my last name starts with Gr, which is really hard because so many of my favourite names right now have R's in them.
Expect me back soon as I work my way through the names for Charlie and Bea's imaginary brothers.

How do you pronounce Bea with two syllables?

Charlotte
Charlize
Charlene

That's all I got.

Keep Scarlett. Charlie Wren Scarlett is really cute, though if you do, you might want to opt for Charlize or Charlene, to avoid rhyming.

Charlize
Charlesa (char-les-a)

I have seen the name Charlie, feminized to Charleigh, Charlee and Charley, I like it for a girl it's very cute.

My Wren's middle name is Melissa, which could work for your combo - Charlie Wren Melissa.

I really like Charlotte....but my sister's daughter is simply Charlie
that is her official first name- it fits her well

I don't care for Charlie and Scarlet used in the same name. The first syllables are too similar (Char and Scar)

I don't think Beatrix and Charlie as given names go at all. However, I think Beatrix and Charlotte are lovely together, and nn Bea and nn Charlie works fine.

What about Charlotte Verity Wren? I don't know the syllable count on the last name so I think this order flows better. Could be Charlotte Wren Verity sounds better when the last name is taken into consideration.

Other ideas:
Charlotte Edith Wren / Charlotte Wren Edith
Charlotte Thomasina Wren / Charlotte Wren Thomasina
Charlotte Philippa Wren / Charlotte Wren Phillippa
Charlotte Agatha Wren
Charlotte Helena Wren / Charlotte Wren Helena (with the hel-LAY-nuh, not the HEL-en-uh pronunciation in order to avoid rhyming)
Charlotte Georgiana Wren / Charlotte Wren Georgiana
Charlotte Josephine Wren / Charlotte Wren Josephine
Charlotte Alice Wren / Charlotte Wren Alice
Charlotte Wren Elise
Charlotte Tallulah Wren / Charlotte Wren Tallulah
Charlotte Wren Louise
Charlotte Felicity Wren / Charlotte Wren Felicity

If you decide to use Charlie Wren, a lot of those work with it as well.

I agree with this. If my sister's name was Beatrix and I was named Charlie, I'd be livid. Beatrix and Charlotte sound like they are a pair of siblings. Charlotte Wren (love Wren) has the possibility to add a 2nd middle name in there.
