I know three babies/toddlers all under 3 who are named Charlotte and go by Charlie (though one spells it Charley). My DD is named Charlotte, also a family name I always wanted to use and decided to still just go ahead use, despite the increasing popularity. We thought we'd call her Charlie some but we use another- homegrown- nickname that just kind of happened organically.

I know 4 baby Charlotte's born in the last yr. I don't believe any of them go by Charlie, but I considered doing it for my dd. Love it.

I have a DS named Charlie and I had a woman at a children's store once tell me how much she loved the name, but since she didn't have a girl she couldn't use it. Aside from being confused, I became aware of how Charlie for a girl (and boys perhaps too!) is trending. At the same time, I have only met one little girl named Charlie. LOTS of little boys named Charlie though...

I know one Charlie. Her real name is Charlotte. Not my favorite name, would prefer Lottie.

My daughter is a Charlotte, old enough not to be in the super popular name bracket. Her friends call her "Char." It's such a long name I think you will find many girls going by one of the common nicknames and Charlie is definitely a common nickname for Charlotte.

I think Charlie or Char for a nickname is adorable. I had a great aunt named Charlotte and she went by Lottie, which is another option.

I had a coworker named Charlie, she was in her early 20's.

If you like Charlotte, then use Charlotte! Not using a name just because it's fashionable is just as silly as using a name just because it's fashionable, in my opinion.

I explained it, and if we do this we're giving her Charlotte to fall back on if she feels like she hates it. Wasn't asking what you thought, just asking if you know any.

I'm seeing a lot of infants :-/

I don't want to be inadvertantly in the 1st wave of the new Aiden, thanks all

You know the new princess is named Charlotte, right? It's already popular and is clearly going to get much more popular in the next few years. It's perfectly fine to give your kid a popular name but you can't really claim you didn't see that one coming...

Then use it! Just don't claim you had no idea it was popular. With an increasing number of Charlottes, of course there will be more girls going by all the various nicknames.

One. She's awesome.

none.

I know of three Charlottes, all about 8 - 10. All go by Charlotte.

I know one young Charles called Charlie who is 6.

Don't know any Charlies, but I think it's a cute name for a girl along the lines of Frankie, Sammie, Andie, etc. Go for it!

Well, there is the disney show, Good Luck Charlie, about a little girl named Charlotte, but they called her Charlie. You'll get a lot of references to that.
