I’m not really a fan of Amelie although I like Amelia

I love Lottie as a nickname for Charlotte

Madmarchpear · 09/03/2019 14:28

Amelie for me. It's very feminine and stands out. I've never known of one and I don't think it's that common in the North. Lottie on it's own is a dogs name like Alfie or Charlie.

If you go for Amelie, will it irritate you if people mishear and refer to her as Emily / Amelia?

chiarazuri · 09/03/2019 12:47

Amelie is beautiful!

Trills · 09/03/2019 12:26

Charlotte if you want Lottie.

SinkGirl · 09/03/2019 12:21

I always wanted a dd called Amelie but I have twin boys. Sadly it’s heavily used these days so if I had a dd I probably wouldn’t use it. I don’t think it will date though - its a beautiful name.

I’d do Charlotte over Lottie

Lottie short for Charlotte. Amelie is very current. Charlotte will stand the test of time better

WingingItAsIGo · 09/03/2019 12:14

I have one but the love the other too!

MikeUniformMike · 09/03/2019 12:12

Lottie, short for Charlotte.

BlueMerchant · 09/03/2019 12:08

Lottie definitely. It's beautiful.
Amelie is far too popular now and will a Karen of years gone by I fear.

aliceandkids77 · 09/03/2019 12:00

Amelie Amelie Amelie Amelie!

JenSFP · 09/03/2019 10:32

I also agree that Charlotte would be preferable, nn Lottie

JenSFP · 09/03/2019 10:32

Lottie because I know about ten Amelie’s now Confused

I also agree with vinegarqueen

CruCru · 09/03/2019 02:12

I agree with vinegarqueen.

Either are great, but if you are going for Lottie please use Charlotte. Your teenage or 30-something daughter may really thank you for being able to change up her nickname to something less cute, or have the option to be ”Lottie” to friends and ”Charlotte” to her employer. I have a several friends with the cute shorter version of a name and they all wish they had the longer one.

Madwithjealousy · 09/03/2019 00:02

Lottie. Just Lottie. Not Charlotte.

SweetButaPsycho · 08/03/2019 23:57

Charlotte nn.Lottie

Sophronia · 08/03/2019 23:43

Lottie if short for Charlotte, Charlotta or Carlotta.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 08/03/2019 21:21

Ooh I like them both but would probably choose Lottie myself Smile

MollyHuaCha · 08/03/2019 21:15

Lottie (Charlotte)

Bellaposey · 08/03/2019 20:44

Lottie but as a nickname for Charlotte

123Flopsy · 08/03/2019 20:38

Lottie short for Loretta?

beanaseireann · 08/03/2019 20:36

What about Aurelie ?

Bumblebeesmum · 08/03/2019 20:32

Lottie is a nickname for Charlotte
