[Opinions] Re: Charlie
in reply to a message by Lily
Charlie could be short for Charity, Charisse, or Charmaine. It could also be a nickname for Carol or Caroline, since they are both used as feminine variants of Charles.
I've known one person named Charlene, a couple named Carol, and quite a few named Caroline, but none with the other names you or I listed. There is a Doctor Who companion named Charlotte who goes by Charley.
I think Charlie and Charley are both good spellings.
I've known one man called Charlie; I presume it was short for Charles, though I never asked.
I pronounce the ch in Charlie like the ch in chess, but the ch in Charlotte and Charlene like the sh in shy.
