Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME CARLEE

Carlee was created in the United States around 1990 as an alternate form of the more popular Carly. American parents have a tendency to play around with name suffixes and the “-ee” one is perhaps the most youthful and cutesy. For Carly, we not only have the “-ly” suffix, you can now pick your poison from a plethora of other choices: “-lee”, “-lie”, “-ley” and the ever fancy-pants “-leigh”. Not to mention the K vs. C first letter. Alas, there are 12 different spelling forms and mutations for the Carla/Carly names which mean most little girls given this name will always be confirming the spelling of her name forevermore. Out of all the choices, Carlee and Karlee are probably the most befitting for a little girl; the “-ee” suffix is just too precious. But does this one mature very well into adulthood? We’ll let you decide.
