Lottie or Juno?

I have just added Lottie to my list of names for for a future dd. Juno is a long time love.....but sometimes I feel it sounds too manly, though I also like the fact that IMO it has a mystical feel to it.....my weird mind lol!!!

I like the sweet feel of Lottie, I previously loved Posy but because it rhymes with our surname (similar to Trophy bar one letter) we have vetoed it Sad I think Lottie is along the same lines as Posy!

So advice and opinions much appreciated please Smile

I like Juno but that's because people not pronouncing the double t in Lottie properly would bug me- I'm quite aware that this is my personal bugbear though and both names are lovely

Juno, I love this name. Wanted it for DC2 but 'it's' a DS. Might need to go for DC3 GrinGrin

Other name we had was Lara.

Lottie. Beautiful name. Really dislike Juno and have yet to hear it even mentioned outside of MN.

I like Juno but I wonder if it will seem dated in the future. Lottie is lovely :) Juno as a middle name?

Charlotte for Lottie. Giving a nickname is very limiting. Love Juno.

Juno is lovely. Very popular seemingly on MN, but I only know 2 in RL. Lovely strong but feminine name that works for all ages.

Lottie is very sweet (I really like & possibly prefer Lotta, but this might encourage some undesirable nicknames .. "Whole lotta love" etc?!). The thing is, with Lottie, Posey etc, they are SO sweet they may not suit a teenager or fully frown woman. Choosing a 'full' name and using the sweet nn may be a good idea?

Good luck OP! Smile

I love Lottie. Would name her Charlotte (a long time favourite of mine I could not persuade dh to use, on either daughter).

I like Juno too. It's unusual but not a pain to spell, if it's a long time love then use it!

Our daughters have unusual but easy to spell names, there are no other girls I know with dd1's name (one left school with a levels when dd1 was year8) and there is one girl in dd2's primary with her name.

Juno, the more I think about it, the more I like it.

Both names are good. Juno is a lovely name, But would not be used for child name because it’s my favorite as dogy name. Lottie as a first name gives independently nature and it sounds very cute.

Are you naming her after me Ditsy? Wink

I love both names actually, Juno is a bit hippy like but mega cute.

I'm a Charlotte, but it's shortened to Charlie / Lottie and I've always liked it xx

Please call her Charlotte NN Lottie so that she can be the ubercool Charlie when she turns into a teen.

We had Charlotte on our faves list, with nickname Lottie. Love it although we've met quite a few Lotties at playgroups and it seems pretty popular. So it depends on whether that would bother you. Juno is very different in feel and more unusual.
