Nickname Lottie

[Roopoo]

Not keen on Charlotte
Love Lottie
any other names it could be a NN for?

why not just use lottie?

Carlotta is prob too close to Charlotte for you.

Clothilde?

Im not sure
DH is keen for DC to have proper names for job interviews etc
we have a DD Matilda NN Tilda

Loretta?

My DD2 is Charlotte but is known as Lottie. We get such positive comments about the name Lottie .

I know someone whose name is Lotte (with an umlaut thingy on the 'e'). It's not short for anything. The 'e' ending somehow seems less girly and nicknamey than the 'ie' ending IMO so that could work if you're worried about her having a 'proper' name.

Even though you don't like Charlotte, could you not just have it on the birth certificate and just call her Lottie? Then she has the option of using Charlotte for jobs etc but will never be called Charlotte, iyswim.

I love Charlotte (obviously) but if you are going to call her Lottie anyway does it matter what name is on the BC?

In Germany they tend to use Lotta (or more accurately Lotte) as a way of lengthening names... ie:

Lieselotte/a (German nn tends to be Lilo but Lottie also happens)
Hannelotte/a
Adelotte/a

Or they put it on the front... ie Lotte-Luisa

Not sure this helps much! What about simply using Lotta or Lotte on the BC - short and sweet?

I know a Lottie and she is lovely. Shes a grown woman and thats her name, on birth cert etc. I love it x

My friend has a Violet which has been shortened to Lottie by a family member

Elliot?

Another vote for the German - Lotte (pronounced Lotta).

(Although does make me think of "a whole lotta lovin'..." [chmm])

I was going to suggest Violet too. I love Lottie, but like you not so keen on Charlotte.....love Violet though, would be on my SL.
