Charlotte

What are your thoughts on the name Charlotte, no shortened to Charley or Lottie, just Charlotte

Beautiful name.

Gorgeous. I think others will shorten it but it is a stunning name x

Lovely name.

She may well choose to use a shortening in the future, so if you don’t like the nicknames then probably don’t choose it.

Lovely and timeless name, albeit a bit boring

💕 Charlotte.

I have a Charlotte and no one shortens it, even though it’s a long name it still only has 2 syllables so doesn’t need to be shortened.

I hate Char so I really hope she doesn’t decide to go by that when older 😂 I very rarely call her Charley Barley but nobody else does. We’ve met a couple of other little Charlottes who go by Lottie.

Why ‘boring’ . ? I would much rather a timeless, classical name like Charlotte than some of the unconventional and frankly ‘made up’ names that can seem rather common.

I like it but agree others may shorten it as she gets older.

I have a Charlotte, she’s only little bit only goes by Charlotte, no shortenings. I, obviously, think it’s a beautiful name. It is quite commonplace around here though.

I have a Charlotte here too! I think it's a lovely traditional name but not used so often that there are loads.

Nobody shortens it, she is 10 and showing no signs of wanting it shortened to anything yet.

Beautiful

My Charlotte is almost 29 and nobody has ever shortened it

I know several Charlottes but only one is Charlie, another is Lottie, and one is Charl (sharl). All the others are always Charlotte.

Pretty but generic. It's grand like, totally inoffensive, it just doesn't have a lot of pizzazz imo.

It's OK, but not my cup of tea - I find it a bit downmarket and bland. I know it's a "classic" but I really dislike the Ch at the beginning - like Chardonnay or some other such name. Caroline has the same root and is much nicer, with more oomph, I think.

One of my absolute favourite girl names. It's classic, classy, Austen used it, has great shortening if you want, there's nothing not to like (IMHO).

I know 2 lovely ones (European so different pronunciation). But it has never appealed 2 me. And was super-duper popular in recent yrs so I fancy hearing something different. Use it if you love it, of course. It is no way a bad name to use.

I have one! She's 18 and I still love the name

Ma I ask, do you usually pronounce it Shar -lot or Shar-lut? Heard both.

*May I ask

Lovely. It will always have the princess connotations but that's not a bad thing!

I know a German Charlotte, pronounced Shar-Lott-eh

One of my favourite girls names. Beautiful & classic. I know a few of varying ages and none have nicknames...
