A cute nickname for Charlotte, Charlene, Charlize, etc., but I don't like it by itself.

I really like Charlie on a girl, as well as on a boy. I think it's a really nice nickname for Charlotte. It has a sort of youthful and energetic vibe. Also, it has a nice sound.

I don't like any boyish nicknames or full names for girls.

I don't like it on a girl. It is all boy to me. I don't even like it as a nn for Charlotte or Charlene.

It's like a buffalo plaid flannel - trendy and deliberately underdressed.
The next Casey.

Hi !!!!

---

Too informal for either gender. And too familiar/overused too.

---

Lottie is a nickname too but it fits better as given name because it is not SO popular.

I don't like it because I think It lacks the French elegance Charlotte has. However, it would be a nice nickname for a more tomboyish Charlotte. As a full name, it seems too informal for either gender.

Only as a nn for Charlotte, Charlene etc.

---

My problem with nicknames being used as full names is that nicknames, short forms etc go through fashion cycles. just like full names. But if you have, say, Charlotte as your full name and are known as Charlie, then if Charlie becomes too popular then you can become either Charlotte or Lottie ... which a Charlie could never do without tedious name-changing.

I'm a Charley, but it's short for Charlotte.

---

I wouldn't want to be just a Charley, I would have found it too informal as a given name.

---

So yeah, fine as a short form, but I really don't like it as a given name, for boys or girls, I've I'm honest.

I don't like it!

I never like nicknames as full given names, and Charlie feels better on a boy for me than a girl.
