DH and I have a shortlist (finally ) could you please say what you like/dislike about each name?

Clio
Lottie (Don’t want to use Charlotte as we don’t want it to be confusing for her when she learns her name as the connection between Lottie and Charlotte isn’t very obvious for a toddler with a different starting letter)
Cecily
Eden
Florence (Flo)
Emily (Em/Ems)

Thank you

Clio- a cat or a car
Lottie- I don't like it tbh, but it could be worse.
Cecily- quite like it, shortens to Cece. Does sound like Sicily
Eden- OK. I tend to associate it more with boys but it is unisex
Flo- Aunt Flo (well known period euphemism)
Emily- fine, a bit dull but thoroughly unobjectionable

@riotlady
That’s true but I’m someone who stresses very easily and I would worry that if we always called her Lottie she wouldn’t be accustomed to Charlotte enough to spell it correctly without going by the whole thing.

Children have been called things like Lottie/Charlotte Bill/William and even Daisy/Margaret for decades and all presumably learnt to write their names just fine?

Like all of your names except Cecily which is a bit fussy for my taste
