Lottie as diminutive/nickname for Élodie?

[Momzillatron]

Just that really...do you think Lottie could possibly work as a diminutive or nickname for Élodie?

(Also wondering whether Mia/Mimi work as a nickname for Emerson...for a girl).

Thank you so much in advance! Xx

...at a stretch..... lodie...loddie....lottie...

Honestly? No on either counts.

As for Emerson - surely something like Em/Emmy would be a more natural diminutive?

why not just call your children Lottie and Mia/Mimi?

No, Just name them the names you want to call them.

No. We had Dee-Dee or Ellie. Lottie is just like, what?

Em/Emma for Emerson.

You can’t force artificial nicknames. Why not just use Mia and Lottie (Charlotte)?

Sorry, I agree with @Rankellior. Elodie would naturally be shortened to Ellie and Emerson to Emmy. I guess you've already realised this though!

Nope, neither work as they're not actually nicknames for the names you want. Definitely grasping at straws somewhat.

Agree with the others, neither are a good fit.

I know a Sonny Emerson - but it's a boy.

I don't think either of your suggestions really work.

It could work if you always call her Lottie, introduce her as Lottie at school, etc. But then if you're never going to call her Élodie, bit pointless calling her it

Lottie is short for Charlotte. It’s not in any way linked to Elodie. Mia / Mimi also are not short versions of Emerson.

No, sorry.

Emerson means ‘son of Emery’. It is like calling a girl Jackson or Harrison.

No sorry too much of a stretch.

Nope

Agree with pp no for either of them, sorry.

Nope. They’re different names entirely. Also agree with pp about calling a girl a boys name that literally means ‘son of...’

I have to agree that those nicknames seem a hell of a stretch. If you told me your daughter was Lottie I would just assume her name is Charlotte, Elodie wouldn't even be in my top 100 guesses.

I do know an Elodie who is always Ellie.

Agree with PP esp @BazaarMum and @QuimReaper

No.

The Elodie I know is dee dee or Ell. I don't think lottie would quite work sorry.

No, it doesn’t fit and she would be assumed to be Charlotte a lot

And very weird to use Emerson for a girl

I think Mimi works best as dim for Imogen.

No. How about Carlotta if you don’t like Charlotte?
Emerson to Mia or Mimi does not work. Emily or Miranda?

I know an Elodie, who's known as Loddie. I would always assume a Lottie was a Charlotte. I'd forget about Emerson entirely.

In any case, you might find your child ends up with a completely bizarre nickname. My DD has one (which I can't mention here because it's so bonkers that someone might recognise it - but it's what she's universally known as, although there's no discernible link to her actual name )
