[Opinions] Re: Charlie
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
I like it on a guy. I considered naming my son Charles called Charlie.
I don't like it on a gal. It's not a natural nick for fem Char- names, which are pronounced with a SH sound. Charlie has a TCH sound like that in Charles. So on a girl, it seems like her full name must be Charles. If Charli/Charlee/Charleigh is pronounced with a SH sound, I think it's okay, but don't particularly like it.
