[Opinions] Re: Charlie
in reply to a message by Ismene
I can't stand it when someone uses Charlie on its own. It's not dignified, and a baby boy who will grow into a little boy and then into a man deserves a dignified name on his birth certificate. If you hate Charles so much that you can't use it, even with Charlie as a nickname, I think that you should forgo Charles and Charlie altogether.

I'm normally one who opts for full names over nicknames but I just don't see what's so UNdignified about Charlie. I don't actually know ANY Charles who actually go by Charles so to me Charlie feels just as perfectly suited on a young boy as it does a professional man
