A pet form registered in its own right

Charlie is Charles with an English diminutive ending, and it spent centuries as something you were called rather than something you were christened. That changed in the last few decades: it now appears in the England and Wales rankings for both boys and girls, counted separately by sex but spelled identically. It is twenty-second among boys there. The parent name comes from the Germanic karl, meaning a free man, by way of Frankish and then French.

Where twenty-three of the thirty-eight sits

C is 3, H is 8, A is 1, R is 9, L is 3, I is 9 and E is 5. The H and R together are 17, and with C and L the consonant column reaches 23, which folds to 5. The whole name is 38 and folds through 11 to 2, a two-step reduction. The vowel side is short and lands low: A holds at 1 in the soul cipher, I drops from 9 to 6 and E from 5 to 3, giving ten, and ten becomes 1.

Does Charles give the same figures?

No. Charles ends in S rather than IE, which removes the heaviest vowel in this name and changes the total and both column figures.

Is the girls Charlie calculated differently?

It is not. The table reads seven letters and returns the same three figures regardless of who the name belongs to.

What about Charly or Charlee?

Both are different strings. Y and a doubled E carry different values, so each spelling produces a total and three figures of its own.
