Lettie?

[Cuppateeee]

I like names that are unusual but readable, if that makes sense, so what do you think when you read Lettie.

Also Lettie or Letty

I like it, but not as a full name. I would use something like violet on birth certificate with nickname Lettie.

It’s short for Laeticia, which is a pretty name. Call her that and use the diminutive.

Better short for Violet.

Could also be short for Lettice.

I read it as leftie

Could also be short for Scarlett!

Thanks for replying, I’m not very keen on violet, thought of violent and can’t get that out my head now! Just glad nobody said it they thought of salad!

I love Lettie, and Lotty (bit of a Miss Marple fan!) But, where I live the T would never be enunciated and it would turn into leh-ee, and that would just do my head in :(

DD2 is Letty, short for Violet. Not sure why we spelt it Letty over Lettie though.

It does seem a bit too nickname-y, to me, for a full name but that’s personal preference. Etta is a name I do like on it’s despite usually liking longer names that use can use nicknames for.

My gran was Letty, short for Letitia. I've never heard of it as a shortened version of other names.

I know an adult named Lettie and never thought it was “short” for anything, tbh.

I know a Letty short for Alette which I always thought was pretty.

Lettuce 🥬

If you like the stand alone name of Lettie/Letty, then go for it. You do not need a longer name, to then only shorten it?

Lettie is a very nice name btw.

The Lettie I know is Colette

I know two Lettie's: one is a Letitia and one is a Violeta

Lettuce

I love the name Lettuce, please choose that!!

I only got a boy so I can't. And probably wouldn't have had the balls tbh.

I've known it as short for Colette

It doesn't appeal to me. It makes me think of lettuces.

It's Lettice not Lettuce!

Lettie 🥬Lettuce

Short for Collette (beautiful name) or Lettice (which is also fab, but you might get a lot of faces in this day and age with the latter.

Go for it op, but not as a stand alone name. I’d call her Collette and Lettie as a nn

There was a Lettice Knollys who married Robert Dudley and Queen Elizabeth hated her for it. That’s where I first heard the name and thought it was really cool.

Love it, and also like most of the longer suggestions- although I love Violet I do get the violent link. Leticia is lovely.
