  1. I was named after a man named Charles he looked like a movie star, he could do all jobs and he did very smart, retired at 50, and he truly married for love a real love. He was private man. Good enough for me. I also named my daughter after a very strong man and it’s my wish she have that in her life.

  2. My parents wanted a Charlton and got a Charlene in stead on the baby scanner showed that I was a boy so they named me Charlton when I was born they saw it was a girl and my father was dissepointed so he named me Charlene after him Charles is his name

  3. Charlene Michelle got both her names from her parents middle names. Charlene is my middle name, after my father and grandfather (Charles). Michelle is the feminine form of her father’s middle name (Michael), after his own father. I had picked out these names years before I ever met my husband.

  4. My Parents wanted a Charles so they got Charlene instead . I Love my name not a common name. I like that

    • Same here!!

  5. Charlene don’t like it! Rock the casbah. I love my name it was given to me by my mama(it was hers too) after my Grandpa who was a wonderful human being! IAM proud to carry on their names. And too be perfectly honest it suits me if the definition is womanly,or free woman that is exactly who IAM!

  6. One reason we like Charlene is because her daddy,grandpa,and great grandpa are Charlie so we liked her to have a girl version, 2nd she had a great grandma Shirlene and it sounds similar, and 3rd we like the country song “John Deer Green” which sings about Charlene.
