My name is Charley and I love it... but man, do I wish people would stop thinking my name is actually Charlotte. I am so pleased my name isn't Charlotte as it 100% would not suit me. My family often call me Chas and I quite like that too! I am a mid-90's child, highly educated with a great job - just to dispel some of the more negative connotations listed on this site :)
For some reason I feel like this is the masculine form. Something about i's or ie's that make me think of a bratty girl.
My niece was named Charley after my grandfather Charles and I must admit it took a while for it to grow on me but now I love it...so much so I have a tattoo of it across my wrist lol. Also what made the name adorable for me is when as a baby she used to try and pronounce it...it always came out as Cha-ee and that is what I still call her to this day. I do not like Charley or Charlie or Charles for a boy...so thank goodness she was a girl!
My name is Charley Grace and I love the name Charley.
Boy name. Strongly dislike for a girl!
Even worse than Charleigh.
Please don’t do this to a poor child. I would absolutely hate being stuck with this name unless I was a boy born in the 60s or 70s.
I only like Charley on male humans and male pets.
I personally see Charlie as for boys only but Charley is cute on both genders.
I like this spelling better than Charlie. Also I think this one is more masculine, and Charlie is more on the feminine side.
I don't see most women growing into this name well. I think it would be better to name your child Charlotte, Charlene, or another feminine form of Charles and call her Charley for short.
I'm a Charlotte, who chooses to go by Charley. However, while I think Charley suits me more than Charlotte, I'm glad it's not my given name, as I think it's too informal sounding. I think Charley is better as a short form, as opposed to a given name.I always use Charlotte formally, such as on my university applications, and I see Charlotte as being my 'serious alter ego'. Charley is my fun side!
I think Charley is a good name for either and it's not just because I'm a girl named Charley.
I love this spelling. :)
Ugly on a boy or girl, I much prefer Charlie but only for a boy.
As I said before, I spell it Charlie. However, "Charley" can be a used as a pet form of Charlotte.
My little sister's name is Charley and it's adorable. I love this name for a girl or a boy. I also know a little boy named Charlie. If you're naming a boy Charlie, use c-h-a-r-l-i-e but if you're naming a girl Charley use c-h-a-r-l-e-y. The y makes it more feminine, I think. Again, love this name for either gender!
This spelling is incorrect. It should be spelt C-h-a-r-l-i-e. Of course, my nickname is spelt Charlie.
I think this spelling is somehow more suited to girls, like Charli.
