Charlotte, with nn Charla

[missrabbitsshoeshop]

Any thoughts..?

Love Charlotte but not keen on Charla. Sorry

I love Charlotte! If you like Charla go for it, I didn't think it was a popular nn for Charlotte

Charla sounds like a Dublin pronunciation of Charlotte.

love the name charlotte

it doesn't take much more effort to say charlotte over charla though so i don't see it as much of a 'shortened' version. if i was shortening charlotte i'd use lottie as nn but its not everyones taste.

what about char as nn

I love Charlotte but not Charla. They will sort their own nickname out anyway-I would imagine it would quickly become Char once at school.

Charlotte is a perfectly nice name, as are the 'usual' nicknames Charlie and Lottie. Charla seems a bit contrived IMHO. Sorry.

No one apart from you will use that nickname

Nicknames just happen

Charla is persian meaning little flower

Exactly what I was going to say - very contrived as a nn.

Charlotte is lovely, Charla is dreadful.

I'm a Charlotte and always got called Lottie or Charlie - neither nn was my idea! I was happy with my full name! Why not just use 'Charla' on it's own, nicknames will be thought of by other people independently?

You could use Sharly?

Or Chaz?

charla is how they would pronounce charlotte in Baaarnsla (barnsley)!

Love Charlotte, hate Charla.

Chavtastic!

How about Carlotta as full name with Carla as nickname?

Charla sounds a lot like Charlene to me but that's fine too! I know a Shayla if that's relevant?

How would you pronounce it - like 'Sharla' or with the Ch sound as in Charlie?

I like Charlotte but not sure about the nn, aren't nicknames supposed to just 'happen' anyway rather than being contrived in advance?

Aren't the shortened versions of Charlotte, Charlie or lottie?

I agree that you are the only person who will give her that nn.
If you like Charla just use that on it's own. I'm pretty sure it's a name of its own and not just a nn.
In my experience the most common nn for Charlotte is Charl, then Charlie, then Lottie. I have never heard of a Charlotte called Charla, but I have heard of people actually called Charla.
