I was Charly with the sh sound when I was little and Charl with the sh sound as a grown up.

My DP hated Lotte so I was never ever called it except by 1 ex and I kinda like it but now its too weird haha

You could also keep it long and see if an organic nn emerges

Names don't need a nickname! Charlotte is lovely just as it is.

I know of a Tottie, but it wouldn't be my choice.

My Charlotte is just charlotte. I quite like Lottie but not Charlie, Char etc. I don't think it needs abbreviating, got a lot of letters but only 2 syllables.

The only Charlotte I've ever known chose to be known as Shaz.

Smoliver · 05/12/2017 21:20

All the Charlotte's that I've known in my life have just gone as Charlotte. Occasionally, one of them was called Lott-Lott but they never had nicknames.

Same - Charlottes are just Charlotte in my experience. Love the name. Would have used it if someone in the family hadn't beaten me to it!

SantaStuckInTheChimney · 05/12/2017 21:25

Char, Charl, Chas/Chaz

SantaStuckInTheChimney · 05/12/2017 21:26

Charlotte doesn't need a nn it's nice as it is

If the child is already named, how about using a middle name instead? Lottie sounds a bit preposterous to me, and Charlie (along with other 'tomboy' type names) just sounds like the daughter of parents who would have preferred a boy. (Sorry if I'm projecting a bit...)

Why do you need a nickname? All the Charlottes I know are just called Charlotte.

Nicknames are usually something bestowed on children by their school friends, are they not?

Please don't shorten Charlotte.
