What are your thoughts on the name Charlotte, no shortened to Charley or Lottie, just Charlotte

I have a Charlotte, she’s only little bit only goes by Charlotte, no shortenings. I, obviously, think it’s a beautiful name. It is quite commonplace around here though.

I like it but agree others may shorten it as she gets older.

Why ‘boring’ Confused. ? I would much rather a timeless, classical name like Charlotte than some of the unconventional and frankly ‘made up’ names that can seem rather common.

I have a Charlotte and no one shortens it, even though it’s a long name it still only has 2 syllables so doesn’t need to be shortened.

I hate Char so I really hope she doesn’t decide to go by that when older 😂 I very rarely call her Charley Barley but nobody else does. We’ve met a couple of other little Charlottes who go by Lottie.

Lovely and timeless name, albeit a bit boring

She may well choose to use a shortening in the future, so if you don’t like the nicknames then probably don’t choose it.

Lovely name.

Gorgeous. I think others will shorten it but it is a stunning name x

Beautiful name.
