Help[Opinions] Charleigh
Somebody I know recently just added a new addition to the family. Long story short, they named her Charleigh Rae. Even though I’m genuinely getting more and more annoyed with -leigh ending names,
This story in particular was very interesting.: So basically, the “Char” part was in honor of Charleigh’s Grandfather Charlie, on her fathers side. And the “Leigh” part was in honor of her Grandmother “Lei Lei” .(Real name Leilani.) Interestingly enough, Grandfather Charlie and Grandmother Leilani died on the same day apparently. 5 years later, and 2 days after they both died, Charleigh was born. They decided Charlei didn’t look right, Charlie didn’t fit right for a girl, and Leilani was a name they never really liked. So, they just went with Charleigh. The middle name, Rae, is because of how it was spelled out R-A-E. R, for the brothers name, A, for a deceased loved one, and E, for another loved ones name.The sibset is Florence and Charleigh.
Anyways, the story behind her name is very interesting, and I personally love the sentiment behind it. (Even though I still dislike leigh names with a passion.) And it’s quite refreshing to see people put some thought into kids names instead of just random name fillers and stuff like that. So yeah.
Anyways, whats your opinion on the name Charleigh? Do you like the combo Charleigh Rae? Thoughts on the story behind it?
