My name is Carlie, and I'm often called Charlie (very confusing because that's my dad's name; I'm named after him), Carrie, or Callie. People always want to know what my name is short for. iCarly & Carly Rae Jepson have helped people recognize the name more.
My name is Carlie. I often get called Charlie, or asked if my full name is Charlotte, Charlene, Caroline, etc. Sometimes when people are calling my name, it gets confused as a male "Mr. Carlie Lastname, please"
I'm used to my name by now, but sometimes wish I had been given a 'formal' name. At this point in my life, if someone still calls me Charlie when I have a name tag on, or have corrected them repeatedly, I just give up.
My sister-in-law's name is Carlie. She was named for her grandfather. I love the name, and she is a beautiful person, inside and out!
I like my name, but always get called Charlie or Claire...people rearrange the letters. I also get called Kylie -which is much more common here in Australia (and I HATE the name Kylie). I would have much rather have been called Charlotte or Caroline.
