To rhyme with plot or with the same sound as the ending of toilet?

Clear as mud I'm sure!

To rhyme with mutt or tut...which isn't quite the same as toilet

Actually, I probably pronounce it more like PrimaryTeach1987 does.

I say Shar lot.
My Mum says Shar lut.
We both think the other is wrong!

In my head it sounds like Char-Lott to rhyme with it but I've just said it aloud and it actually sounds more like Char-let. Hmm.

My friend Charlotte really hates the Char-LOT pronunciation.

It's Char-lut.

SHAR- lut for the name of an English person, Shar-LOT for the cakey thing or a French person.
