Lottie

[Febe123]

The only name I like is Lottie when looking at top 100 names. I don't really like charlotte though , is Lottie acceptable on its own? Also do you like the name? I think it's cute

There's also Lotte pronounced the same which is an acceptable first name.

I really dislike it as a nn so definitely wouldn't as an actual name.

As a grown up will your child appreciate a ‘cute’ name?

The e is a so Lotta...

My nickname is Lottie, although I prefer it being spelt Lotte

Its one I'd consider if it wasn't already my name

I know of a Lottie whose name is just that

Lotta/e (like Charlie & Lola).

Lottie nn for Charlotte

Ive taught several Lotties.

Baby in the bed opposite me and DD in Hospital was just Lottie. The mother said she had no intention of ever calling her Charlotte so didn’t see the point of putting it on the BC. I think Lotte would be better as a stand alone name myself.

Liselotte, nn Lottie?

I wouldn't just call her Lottie, personally. I think it's good to have a full name and options.

I think Lottie is too cutesy. If you call her Charlotte on her birth certificate then you can still call her Lottie, but you're giving her the option of a 'full' name that is versatile, incase she doesn't want to be stuck with Lottie.

Lottie and Lotte are pronounced differently. Lotte is like "lotta".

Lottie is fine. I prefer it as a shortening for Charlotte, but it's a bit like Rosie in that it's reasonably well used and accepted as a standalone name.

Lottie is cute but I think it needs to be a nn. I know one Scarlet nn Lottie or how about Carlotta?

I also think that whilst Lottie is lovely, it is too cutesy as a full name (and probably not such a nice name to have as a working professional).

Lottie would be reasonably possible as a nn for any of the following:
Carlotta
Loretta
Scarlett
Letitia
Violetta

How is Lotte and Lottie pronounced the same?

Lottie = Lott-ie
Lotte = Lott-eh
Lotta = Lott-ah

How is Lotte and Lottie pronounced the same?

It isn't, I agree.

Lotta nn Lottie is nice. I also like Carlotta.

The only name I like is Lottie when looking at top 100 names

Does it have to be a top 100 name?

I love Carlotta.

Good to have full name option for job interviews etc.

DH vetoed it but I would have gone for Carlotta or Charlotte as a full name.

Names are changing OP, short names will all be normal when it's time for them to have interviews etc. Don't call her Charlotte if you don't like the name! I know one adult Lottie and it sounds great.

Well, it is lovely, of course but IMO best as a nn for a more dignified, grown-up full name.

Personally, I like the fact it sounds quite different from the formal name(s), so there's a clear 'work and acquaintances vs friends and family' distinction.

It only works with people who enunciate 't' clearly, rather than with a glottal stop. 'Loh-ee' isn't so appealing.

Loretta, Carlotta, Liselotte are interesting variations. Might there be any other Italian names that shorten to Lottie?

I have a lottie. She is officially Charlotte in case she wasn't a lottie but more a Charlotte or Charlie. She is 13 and very much suits the name. I love it

Knew a German Lieselotte (pronounced Lisa Lotta)

I like Lotta a lot (ha)

Lotte is on our girls list, but it’s not pronounced either Lottie or Lotta, I can’t really explain, it like a much snappier ‘a’ sound at the end.

Sorry sonny already has the pronunciation covered!

What about?
