Girl Names...help!

mkpinkrains

I know there is a boy names thread, but we have a boy name picked out. We are seriously lacking in GIRL names though! We can't agree on anything! I'm feeling major girl vibes so I want to start preparing. I LOVE Giselle but by hubby does not. My daughter's name is Scarlett Alexis. We like the nickname Charlee, but can't go with Charlotte.. (Scarlett, Charlotte) HELP!

I love Charlie or Charleston for a girl. If he didn't insist this baby have a K name I would have went with something like that for a girl. Just give her a super fem middle name to balance it out.

My MIL worked for a Charlene that went by Charlie

mkpinkrains

Lol yes at one point he said why don't we just NAME her Charlee? Does that sound to masculine or does it work these days? Hmm

Noey80

Hazel, Maybel, Charlee (Char Char for nickname),

ash413

For girls we are considering Adaline, Adalynne, Avery, Ava, and Alexia. MN will likely be Grace maybe Quinne. (Idk why they are all A names, we aren't doing it on purpose haha)

I think charlee is adorable for a girl. Like I said just fem it up a bit on the middle name. We are going with Kinley Olivia. I don't feel like kinley is super girly so we sweetened it with the middle name.

mkpinkrains

All very pretty! We do really like Adalyn as well, but now I am thinking maybe Charlee Alexis... (share a middle name with her sister since their last names will be different)

I know a little girl named Charlie! Some people assume it's for Charlotte, but she's actually just named after her grandfather. It's cute, and she's got a really feminine middle name, so it's not really an issue of people looking at her name and thinking she's a boy.

I think with a daughter already named Scarlett, Charlie is a bit of a stretch. I also really don't care for masculine given names on girls. But given that your first daughter has a very feminine name, it wouldn't be fair to number 2 to go super masculine. 

Suggestions in no particular order

I think it is totally acceptable for a girl now a days. Another name I have heard lately for girls is Ryan or Ryanne. I love Rayna for a girl:)

I think Charlee is cute all by itself!

megandchase

Katherine heigls character name in State of Affairs is Charlie (Short for Charleston) and I love it for a girl name. That was the first place I heard it used for a female

gatormom73

I know a Charli. She's a cutie pie. Don't forget the about Charlize.

lekks

I know a girl named Charli, I think it's unique, it's not masculine, but it's not super girly. It's perfect! I say go for it!

For a girl Charlie, I would still make it a nickname for something. Fast forward to the professional world: she will be mistaken for "Mr." Charlie (Smith...whatever). It would be nice or her to have the option to fall back on something more clearly feminine if she desires.

ckbyrd13

I love a name that could go either boy or girl, that is what we are going to do if we have a girl. I am also a little bias because I am one of those girls, Cori, and have three good friends that way also, Kyle, Drew, and, Andi. We all do just fine

McQuadesVA

My little girls name is Piper;) I thought that was the cutest name I had heard

Jame414

Doesn't anyone else think of the cute little girl on the now syndicated show "good luck, Charlie?" She was portrayed as anything but masculine. I think Charlee is fine!

Chris189

Kalise Alexis would be nice

smnewby

I love the name Charleston, Charlie for short!

My favorite name is Amelia but my husband hates it. We do both agree on Kennedy and thats our front runner at present.

MarchABC

I see your predicament. Scarlett and Charlie have some sounds in common but I think work together. However, I agree that Charlie is more of a nickname (as pp said - fast forward to resumes). My personal opinion is that you might need to try a new name altogether. Charlotte nn Charlie would be adorable if you didn't already have a Scarlett. Just my opinion. Scarlett and Olivia would be cute. So many other good ones too.

TV=/= real life. 

 I'm just saying.... I've lived it. I've gone by my initials since the day I was born. (Picture like DJ Tanner) It's a kid, I had more trophies with boy players on top than you can count. In high school, a ref looked at the roster and told coach that a boy couldn't play on a girl's team. As an adult, I my career I was CONSTANTLY referred to as "Mr." I was in brand side marketing, so I was getting proposals all the time.  I eventually started going by my full given name for email purposes.  

Nobody is saying dont call her Charlee, but give her the option for the future.  Also, I have no idea what show it ism,but when naming children, one must remember they won't be a "cute little girl" forever. 

Kanne0729

I love the names, Emerson, Sloane, Ana, Emilia, Harper, Elle, Kennedy, Sadie, Emilee, Bailey, Brynn or Brinley, Blake, Brielle, Meadow, Charlotte, Sienna

Embs33

Isla or Isabelle (Izzy)!

lilyellowduck13

I love McKenna but my husband doesn't

Ceridwen77

Evageline is on our list. How would you pronounce it? E-van-gel-een or E-van-gel-ein (like wine)? DH and I can't agree.

As far as Charlie goes, a friend of a friend is named Charlyee (not sure if it's a nn). I don't personally like the name but I do like Charlize with nn Charlee. IMO Charleston is awful for a girl.

cherthompson

We've had names picked out for the last 5 years...
Lux Ella is my all time favorite.
I've also started to look at my great ancestors and I've seen some unique names.
Exoria
Elisabet
Apolline
Herminie (no joke it was my second great grand uncles wife)

My name is Cherish so I only feel like my daughters name should be unique too.

E-van-ge-leen (so, not like wine)

ColoradoHiker

All the named I could think of that would use Charlie as a nickname have already been listed. So, some of my favorites right now are Camille, freya, hazel (love this but way too popular for me now), zoe and chloe.

Evangel-een pronounciation is the only one I've heard. Pretty!

If we have a daughter we're naming her Basil like the plant which is sometimes pronounced "Bazz-ill" as a boy's name. We don't really care about the confusion since we both grew up having unisex names.

kristenm88

I know a girl who named her daughter Charlie and her middle name is Lynn and i think it's adorable. We named our 1st DD Easton Madilynn and our 2nd DD is Quinn Marie. I like different names especially ones that are not very common but are also not made up. I never asked for opinions on names that me and my husband like because I didn't care what others thought. It was our decision and I didn't want to end up hating a name I loved just because someone else didn't like it.

parisiennemom

Hi @cherthompson nice to meet you.

Question Have you ever thought of adding an "e" on Lux?

I live in Europe And when i Think of this , I thing of luxe, which means luxurious when translated from French to English .

The "e" could also make it a bit lore feminine
Just an idea

All the best!

cdepperschmidt

Could you make the babies middle name Charlotte and then have it going by Charlie?

EllieBPullie

If this baby is a girl my huabd and I are naming her Kailani Belle. First name is pronounced Ky-la-ni not be be confused with Kaylani. I just love the nickname Kai or Lani

mrbrice

If ours is a girl we will name her, Clara Joy
