To rhyme with plot or with the same sound as the ending of toilet?

Clear as mud I'm sure!

I say Char-let

RamsayBoltonsConscience · 18/11/2016 20:21

Shar- lot

PrincessOnTheInternet · 18/11/2016 20:21

Char-lotte to rhyme with plot but that might just be my accent!

Primaryteach87 · 18/11/2016 20:22

I say char-lut - sort of half way between the two

LottieDoubtie · 18/11/2016 20:23

Lot to rhyme with plot definitely

EccentricPickle · 18/11/2016 20:24

I say Shar-let.

My favourite name!

tabulahrasa · 18/11/2016 20:24

To rhyme with mutt or tut...which isn't quite the same as toilet

EccentricPickle · 18/11/2016 20:25

Actually, I probably pronounce it more like PrimaryTeach1987 does.

scrivette · 18/11/2016 20:25

I say Shar lot.
My Mum says Shar lut.
We both think the other is wrong!

OSETmum · 18/11/2016 20:29

Char-lot but I think I'm wrong!

CalleighDoodle · 18/11/2016 20:30

Shar lut

DerelictMyBalls · 18/11/2016 20:31

Sharlut

Justwhy · 18/11/2016 20:31

See. My friends all pronounce it lut and I pronounce it lot. Knew there were others like me!

In my head it sounds like Char-Lott to rhyme with it but I've just said it aloud and it actually sounds more like Char-let. Hmm.

Sharlet, to rhyme with Scarlet.

BratFarrarsPony · 18/11/2016 20:31

nobody says 'char - lut -

Shar l (schwa)

Bertucci · 18/11/2016 20:32

My friend Charlotte really hates the Char-LOT pronunciation.

It's Char-lut.

Backingvocals · 18/11/2016 20:32

I am one and I absolutely hate Shar Lot.

Normandy144 · 18/11/2016 20:33

I have a Charlotte and she's Char-lut.

Doilooklikeatourist · 18/11/2016 20:33

Shar Lut

BroomstickOfLove · 18/11/2016 20:33

SHAR- lut for the name of an English person, Shar-LOT for the cakey thing or a French person.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 18/11/2016 20:34

Shar-lut.

BroomstickOfLove · 18/11/2016 20:34

Rhymes with harlot.

DramaAlpaca · 18/11/2016 20:34

Shar-lut
