I think it's adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13371 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:47:08 +0000 winniebee 13371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece is named Charlotte and we call her Charlie (she's 3). She calls herself Sharlie. I love the name and the nickname! She's super duper girlie now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13182 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 08:39:35 +0000 BabyBear 13182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend named Samantha. We always call her Sam or Sammie. She would rather we did anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13133 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:45:48 +0000 cyneswith 13133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and Terri, I knew a couple from church who were Terry and Terri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13131 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:42:22 +0000 cyneswith 13131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you! I'm glad. I was already VERY attached to the name. Now I can think of my future daughter as Charlie without reserve. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13091 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:46:50 +0000 junebugmama 13091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is Melissa, but my entire family calls me Mel. I don't think anyone called me anything but Mel until I was in my 20's. I started using Melissa in my prof career and as I made more friends as an adult they call Melissa as well. When the group is mixed I answer to all of the names. Mel just was too masculine for me as I got older and I was afraid people would get confused if they saw my name on paper and then met me in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13049 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:27:05 +0000 PastaAndPotato 13049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a "boy" name (which is actually a nickname for Anthony, i was named after my grandfather) - its masculine enough that when my hubs and i started dating, people thought he was spending an inordinate amount of time and going out with some dude every weekend haha</p> <p>i have LOVED having a "boys" name, and think its adorable on little girls. and, i don't think i could be any girlier if i tried (think: pink, pearls, and cardigans) - i definitely would not hesitate having a "boy" name for a future daughter</p> <p>ETA: my first name is Toni - i forgot to add that in the first paragraph ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13012 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:19:56 +0000 tessabella76 13012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is Teresa but almost everybody calls me Terri. I've never really felt that my nickname wasn't feminine enough. It's kind of just fit all my life. Growing up I was mostly a tomboy, now I'm more girly and my name has always just worked. The biggest issue I've had is people spelling both names wrong!</p> <p>ETA: My neice's name is Samantha. We call her Sam or Sammie and she's one of the girliest girls I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-13007 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:10:15 +0000 cyneswith 13007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm bumping this in hope of getting an actual Charlie or Dani or Sam to reply.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-12401 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:53:27 +0000 pelikila 12401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we'd had a girl, that was our plan except we would have used the spelling Charley to make it a little more feminine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-12396 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:52:30 +0000 SAHM0811 12396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We know a little girl named Charlie!! I love it for a girl's name. I also love Charlotte for a girl... so I'm liking your idea... that's nice she could choose later on in life what she prefers to go by. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-12391 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:48:38 +0000 tequiero21 12391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i know a charlotte who's nicknamed "char" (pronounced "shar") </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-12289 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:53:48 +0000 mediagirl 12289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd ask @KillerB. That's her daughter's name. :)</p> <p>I love the name Charlie, personally. If, as she grows, she wants to be called Charlotte, she can do that. She can take either persona. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlottes-want-an-insiders-perspective#post-12286 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:52:28 +0000 cyneswith 12286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to name my little girl Charlotte, with the nickname of Charlie (after a male friend). However, I know that I never liked my name since it's a unisex name. I want to hear from others with names like Charlie to know their thoughts on the name. Is having a girly legal name enough to make a nickname like Charlie feel right? </p>
