  No, I personally would not, I hate Charlie on a girl and Lottie is so much spunkier.

  I would, but I like a boy's name used as a NN for a longer, feminine name.

  I also like "Char" for Charlotte.

  Curious as to why not? According to NameBerry, Charlotte is the female diminutive of Charles...

  Boy names on girls (even as NNs) don't go over well 'round these parts.

  Eh. I just don't care for the sound of it (the NN Charlie) for a girl.

  I wouldn't, but I sure know plenty of people that do. Half the baby girls I know are Charlotte nn Charlie. Way over done IMO.

  I am a big fan of boy nns for linger feminine names such as Frankie for Francesca or Alex for Alexandra. But for some reason I don't like Charlie for Charlotte. I'm not sure if it's because the beginning sound is not the same or what. I'm more tempted to call a Charlotte just Char.

  I don't mind Charlie, but I prefer Char. And Charlotte is such a beautiful name, I probably wouldn't even use a nickname.

  I personally think it's cute, I think the show Good Luck Charlie has probably helped make that nickname a little more popular.

  I'm one of the minority who thinks boy nn's for girl's names are cute (FWIW, DD is Jacqueline and we call her Jac). That said, while Charlie for Charlotte really isn't a combo I would use personally, I do think that it's cute.

  I like Charlie for a girl as short for Charlotte. But I also like Mike short for Michala Jo for Josephine etc. Guess I'm not the majority.

  I love Charlie as a nickname for Charlotte. If I liked Charlotte as a name I'd consider it just so I could call the kid Charlie.

  Yes, I think Charlie is an adorable nn for a little girl.

  I do not like it as a nickname I think Charlotte is very pretty, the nn Charlie is not. I don't mind boy nn on girls such as Sam for Samantha and Jo for Josephine, but dislike Charlie for Charlotte.

  I am in the minority, but I have a Charlotte that we call Charlie about half the time. That said, we use it as a pet name (more akin to Magoo than a Michael going by Mike), and have never/would never introduce her as Charlie.

  Never. Charlotte is lovely by itself, and I don't like boys names on girls.

  I think it's fine.  It's just a nn; she can always discontinue it at some point if she isn't fond of it.  I grew up with a nn that everyone used and in college I just stopped using it.  No one calls me that now.

  I really don't mind it. I think a boyish NN on a girl can be adorable. Our girl name is Johanna and plan to call her Joey. But, I don't think you should force the NN or that be the sole reasons for naming her Charlotte. It's only cute if it fits.

  Not a fan of Charlie

  Lottie is better - I like how it is slightly oldfashioned as well

  
  

  Most of the Charlottes I know are just that or Charl
