WDYTO Charleigh for a girl?
| Wed, 09-22-2004 - 1:38pm |
During my first pregnancy I was sure I was having a girl and I really wanted to name her Charleigh (like Charlie). I had mixed reactions to the name and ended up having a boy so I didn't use it. I'm now on the 3rd pregnancy and am thinking of names for a boy or girl (since I don't know the gender yet) and I still love the name Charleigh. So please give me your honest opinion. Thank you!

Also, I can go for the Charleigh spelling only if Leigh is to honor someone. Otherwise, I think you should save yourself future confusion on spelling.
-Or perhaps you are thinking that spelling -leigh makes it more feminine. To me, it doesn't. The name is still Charlie regardless of how you spell it. I think Charley is the way it's most commonly spelled for a girl.
Anyway, I'd love to know what mn you are considering. For the moment, I'm liking it...and very curious about whether a great mn with it would cause me to LOVE it! Does this help? LOL Take care, Ginger
If you love it go for it!
Best of Luck! Let us know what you decide! =)
Good luck to you,

Others that fit great with boys- Skylar, Darrien, Jillian, Rhiannon, Avery, Ansley, Linley/Lindsey, Jenna, Savannah
Other pretty formal girl names that have boyish nn- Andrea(Andy), Alexa/Alexandra(Alex), Francesca(Frankie)
I also like the idea of Charlotte w/ nn Charley.
Keep us posted! Ginger
Charley is a boys name, no matter how you spell it. people apparently use Charlie as a nickname for Charlotte, but to me Charlotte does not match up in style with Dawson and Ethan.
also, the trend of making long-e ending names end in eigh is getting kind of out of hand - Carleigh, Kyleigh, Ashleigh etc. for instance. it's unnecessary letters.
I think if you are drawn to Charlie, you should go with something more feminine like Carly. with a normal spelling.
jmo, good luck
I have also thought of some of the other names you suggested but I was really stuck on Charleigh. Maybe I should stop wasting brain cells on it and wait till I know the gender.
Thanks again for your input!!
Sincerely,
Kim
I think the solution may be Charlotte Jo Cilley or Charlotte Anne Cilley, called Charley...
One other thing---had you thought about Joanne or Joanna after both aunts?
I could REALLY go for Charlotte Joanna Cilley, called Charley. In that case, I LOVE the name, the nn, the whole, with the sibs, etc.
As far as wasting brain cells, how can you not think about it? It's all I thought about with both babies! Take care, Ginger
