Please don't. Charley is not a girl's name. At all.

kim1989

Don?t like Charley at all for a name

but Reese for a middle name I like

thatjessie

Charlotte nn Charley is Ok with Alexis.

Not a fan of Charley for a girl. Spelling it with "-ey" instead of "-ie" does not make it any more feminine, IMO. If you like the way it sounds, how about something like Charlotte instead?

Nanna

Neither.  Not a fan of Charley for a girl at all.  Reese and Alexis are both fine mns, though.

Sunshine is mine

ewwwwwww! Why do you think Charley is "pretty"? I can't even choose what MN I like better because Charley is so bad.

I prefer Charley Alexis :-)

All three names are masculine.

Charlotte Reese.

Charley as a full name for a girl is just not pretty.  And I like some boy names on girls.  But this one is bad.

I would hate to be named Charley and I hate it as a name for a baby girl.

How about Carley? (w/ either mn)

I love Charlie Reese for a little girl... so cute!!!

If you have to do Charley, please spell it Charlie.

A more formal version of this, such as Charlotte, with a nn of Charlie would be better though.

citychicks

Charlotte Reese with Charley used as a nn.

(I'm going to call a DD on this post).

If you are going to use Charley, which is masculine, then I suggest pairing it with a very feminine middle name.  Since Reece/Rhys is unisex, I would go with Alexis.

Charley, spelled any way, is for boys.

Charlotte is the female version of Charles, and Charlotte Reese is adorable.

shopgirl_07

I like Charley. I vote for Charley Alexis.

I know a woman in her 40s named Charley and she'd never mentioned not liking her name.

IronyandNachos:

Yeah... which is why I wonder why all the posters assumed the name was for a girl.

Which also leads me to say that at least one of the names (first or middle) should not be unisex.

I don't like Charley for a girl.

Ignoring my distaste for Charley for a girl... Alexis says stripper to me.

happylady07

I had a friend in college named Charlie, and while she admitted as a kid it was a little rough (come on, lots of things are rough as kids) she LOVED her name and totally rocked it. 

Mrs.Deputy

Ok. I see Charley as a masculine name. That being said, neither Reese nor Alexis have true gender identity. Please choose a name that will lend itself to a girl, I hate the confusion.

BrideBuddies

As the mother of a little BOY named Charles (who we often call Charlie), I will defend that as a BOY's name to the end of time.   With so many great girl names out there... why do you have to take a boy's name??????

daniella2727

How about spelling it Charlee? and I like Reese with it. My friend named her girl Charlee Rose.

Sorry, but this is even worse. Use Charlotte, please and call her Charlie for a nn.

NMS at first I thought these were boy names.

This.  Charlotte Alexis, NN Charlie

balihaigirl

Ditto the pp, I absolutely LOVE the name Charlotte (it's one of our top 3 names if we have a girl) and you could use the nn Charley/Charlie.  At least this way your DD will have the choice to go by Charlotte later in life if she doesn't want to have a boy's name.  I really don't like the name Charley/Charlie for a girl.  The middle name Reese is cute.

My thoughts exactly.  

I'd also prefer Charlotte, nn. Charley.
