does this nick name work?

Lottie for Violet?
The accent where im from pronounces it more like vio-lot rather than vio-let.
Opinions?

Why the need for a nick name
If you like Lottie, name Her Lottie.

Not one I have heard before, but I like it

not really. Isn't lottie -Charlotte?

Would it not be Lettie?

Lettie is better.

I wouldnt use a nickname as a full name.
Its not that I prefer Lottie its just something my partner suggested and I think it could work.

Lettie IMO.

You can nickname your child whatever you like! Other people will also nickname her whatever they like... It's something you can't really control then they get to school. I think Lottie for violet seems a little 'forced'. If you like the name violet enough to name her that, why not call her violet?

Well my dd's nickname is nothing like her name. But I do think if you're using an established nn, people will assume her name is Charlotte. I have to say 'Vie' is a pretty horrid nn though!

why would you call her Violet if the name you will use is Lottie?

I've never really understood predetermined nicknames, don't they sort of just evolve??

I'm with Bike. I've just chosen names I like in their entirety for my children. If a nickname evolves for them then it does! I don't see the point in choosing a name for a child before they're born but already deciding to call them by a different name!

IggyStrop its a nickname.
a name that would be used along side her name. So she will still be Violet but Lottie for short.

DS' nickname is bug.

His given name is Elliott...

How the heck is Lottie short for Violet? I have a son called Sam for short. His name is not Saul or Simon.

So who will call her Violet and who Lottie?

Will anyone ever call her by her given name? If not, why have one?

If you're going to be calling her Lottie why don't you just make it her name?

Agree with the others that it's a bit contrived and nicknames have a way of outing themselves. We also have a "Bug"!

No it doesn't work. It would be forced and silly.

My given name is Catherine. I am sometimes that, sometimes Cathy and sometimes Cath. Not Rianne. For example. I do not get how you get Lottie from Violet.

I dont think some of you understand what a nickname is. Its another name used alongside the given name.
my daughter is Isabelle. I call her isabelle, izzy, belly, izzy belles but Isabelle is her name.
Thats what nicknames are.

So yes Violet would get called Violet.

Yes but how on Earth do you get Lottie from Violet??

You're right. I don't understand how a nickname works.

My kids nicknames are, amongst others:

Bear
Pooface
Destructor
Fish-head

I don't get this trying to choose the nickname of an unborn child. That's not really how nicknames work...

Before Isabelle was born did you think 'I'm going to call her Isabelle but I will also call her izzy, belly and izzy belles' or did they evolve after she was born?
