I think the most obvious suggestion is Charlotte but I don't like Charlotte.It might sound a little out there but I like the name Charlemagne. Not sure if the name Charlie really matches as a nn though. Honestly, I think Charlie is fine by itself. I don't like how there aren't really any full names (that I can think of) with the harsh 'ch' sound that Charlie has. Charlie doesn't really work as a nn on a girl, I'd just name her Charlie. Edit: Charlemagne is a masculine name but I like it on a girl.

There aren't any good ones, unless you're pronouncing Charlie with a SH- sound instead of like Charlie Brown. You could invent Charlia or Charlesanne or Charlena or Charlette, etc, pronouncing them with a CH like in Charles, and that'd work. But I think Charlie with CH as in Charles, as a nick for a name pronounced with a SH like in Charlotte etc, sounds artificial and self-consciously masculine, like Al for Alyssa.If you're pronouncing it with a SH sound, I vote for Charlotte or Charlize.

My daughter's name is Charlotte Johanna (nn Charlie). She goes mostly by Charlie. It fits her so well.I also like:
Charlaine
Charlene
Charla
or just plain Charlie, Charley, Charlee for a name. I personally prefer it for a nickname.

Maybe:Charlize
Charmaine
Charliane
Idk...just throwin some out there.I'm biased to the name Charlotte. I think it is so cute! My little girl has her Charlotte (proper/grown up) side and her Charlie (spunky, cute, wild) side. :) BTW she is 3 years old.

I prefer Charlie for a boy. Any name starting with Char- works for a girl. So, Charlotte, Charlene, Charmaine. Charlotte is the only one I'd use though.

The only ones I like are Charlotte and Charlotta. There aren't very many names Charlie can be a nickname for.

Oh my, I have the same problem, though what I find what I like so far is Charlesetta and Charliza! But if you are more for conventiality then go for either Charlene or Charlotte!

Thanks for the suggestions! I've never really liked the name Charlotte. I like Charlene but I've had many bad experiences with girls named Charlene and I just couldn't see using it on my kid.I've had a hard time settling on a name that starts with "Char" or could be used with the nn Charlie. I've been looking for awhile now.Thanks again!

Same, it hard to find names that sound good as well fit in without being too unusable!
