Do you consider Charlie a girls or boys name?

I can't decide whether I like Charlie better for a boy or a girl. Which gender do you prefer it on?

Do you consider Charlie a girls or boys name?
I am on the fence like you.





I do have 2 cats in my family (one is my sisters and the other is my cousins) both of which are girls named charlie.
Reply:My favorite is definitely on a boy - Charlie just gives off that good-natured, ruggedly handsome and infinitely sweet sort of personality that I absolutely love. Think Charlie Weasley haha!





I don't mind it on a girl though, but only short for something more feminine like Charlotte. If I had to choose whether to use it on my son or daughter, I'd still go for Charles though.
Reply:It's an adorable name for both a boy and a girl.





But most people think of it as a boy's name when they hear "Charlie."





But when people see that it's a girl's name, they'll say, "That's a cute name for a girl."





I personally think its cuter as a girl's name. :]
Reply:Charlie is a nn





A boy would be named Charles


nn could be Charlie or Chaz





A girl would be named Charlotte or Charlene or Charlize


nn could easily be Charlie as well as Lottie, Lena, or Liza.





To me, it depends on the full and complete name given to the child not the nickname.
Reply:Erm when I hear Charlie I imagine it coming from the name 'Charles' BUT I see more girls with the name. Charlie is usually their proper first name (its not a nickname). I'm not into unisex names though and I do believe its a boys nickname, not a girls first name.
Reply:I think that most people have their head in the sand and only think it should be a boys name. I think though it could go either way, for a girls name why not change the spelling? Like Charley or something different but still pronounced the same way.
Reply:most people associate it with boys, but i have a friend who's a girl and her name is charlie. if you want to give a girl a boys' name, people get over it and think it's cool. i know girls named ryan and kyle.
Reply:Charlie is a boys name.





If you want it be suited for a girl try these spellings:


Charli


Charlee





I prefer it on a boy, but it would be nice on a girl.
Reply:I like it as both, but if we have a girl we are going to name her Charlie. We are probably going to spell it differently, a little more feminine. Either Charley, Charlee, Charli, or Charleigh. Good Luck!! :)
Reply:I don't care for it for a boy's name; it sounds too feminine so if it had to be a boy's name, I would go for Charles. For a girl; it's an OK nickname for Charlene or Charlamaine.
Reply:I consider Charlie a boys name but i also like Charlee for a girl. It is a unisex name.
Reply:Charlie is a masculine BOYS nickname. It's a nickname for Charles which is a BOYS name.
Reply:boy or for a pet. I suppose if her name was Charlene, they probably would call her Charlie for short. Its cute, no matter if its for a boy or girl.
Reply:I'm unsure on this one,I think Charlie is good for a girl and Charles is good for a boy.
Reply:boys name, eww when the child grows up and knows that there are more boys named Charlie she will be devastated. Charlie is definitely not a girl's name!
Reply:Definitely boys, though it's fine as a nickname for Charlotte or Charlize.
Reply:When I hear the name Charlie I instantly think of a boy, however I do like the name for a girl
Reply:It can be both a girls name and a guys name. But ive heard more guys named Charlie then women.
Reply:A boy, although a co-worker just named her female poodle Charlie, lol
Reply:It depends. Do you want it as a nickname? Or a long name? But it can be for both. I hope you like my answer :)
Reply:Charlie is a gender unisex name. It's really cute on a girl! I reallly like it as a girl name! Either that or Carly
Reply:i think of it more for a boy i never heard it being for a girl so i think boy
Reply:I say either but if I had to choose a prefered gender for it, I'd say boy.
Reply:It's traditionally a boy's name but that's what makes it such a cute girl's name.
Reply:I consider it a nickname for both. But Charlie Brown is a guy.
Reply:boy
