My friend is pronouncing it 'Char-lot' and I think it's more 'Shar-lut.'

Shar-lut.

I have never heard anyone say Shar lut! Every Chatlotte I know is Shar lot! I think this is because it is an 'o' in the name not a 'u' . Nickname is Lottie not Luttie.

lut or lot are both fine, but emphasis has to be on the SHAR.

SHAR-lut.

Shar-LOT makes me think of the Lady of Shalott.

I definitely think the emphasis should be so much on the first syllable that you shouldn't hear the second as much- CHAR..lt

Sharlit but that is my Glaswiegan accent to be fair.

My auntie was CHAR-lotte which I never questioned growing up.

As an adult in the big, bad world I struggled to keep calling her that as SHAR-lotte would seem the norm.

Doesn't matter though. Lots of people pronounce the same words differently. Makes the world more interesting.
