I hate it for an "official" girl name. I do love Charlotte though and if the nn Charlie came up I might be ok with it but would never use just Charlie.
I like the nickname, but definitely not as a full first name for a boy or girl. She will receive mail addressed to Mr. Charlie Lastname throughout her whole life. Having a feminine middle name won't make up for it because most people don't ever use middle names.
I know this name is popular right now, especially as a nickname for Charlotte, but yuck. It's a boys' name. Why do you want to do that to your little girl? For the record, I like the name Charlie, I even like it as a nickname for a little girl, but I don't agree with giving girls boys' names for the sake of it. At least make it a nickname so she has the option of appearing to be female on paper.
If you're set on Charlie, I would use it as a nn for Charlotte so your child could have the option of the more feminine name if boys names for girls go out of style and she wants a more classic option.

I think it is an ok nickname, but not a given name for a girl.
The full name doesn't have to be Charlotte ? you could do Charlize, Charlene, Carlotta, Carla, Charissa, etc.
Just had to say I LOVE Charlize! Absolutely LOVE. Wouldn't even use a nickname for it, but I do like Charlie as a nickname for a girl. Hate it as a full name.
I knew a British girl who was called Charley, but pronounced more like 'shar-lee.' I thought it was pretty and definitely more feminine than 'char-lee.' Maybe you could do that?

Charlie is a boys name, and I only really care for it as nn for Charlotte.

I absolutely hate the name Charlie for a girl, sorry! I don't use the word 'hate' much on this board, but I just really can't stand it.
I love the name Charlotte though!
