How do you pronounce Lotte?

[RoseGoldEagle]

Love the name Charlotte and Lottie, can’t decide between them. But DH says if we went for Lottie it would be spelt Lotte. Is it pronounced the same??

Lotte is Lott a

I’ve never seen Lottie spelt at Lotte. Lotte is quite an old fashioned German shortening of Charlotte - pronounced ‘Sharlottuh’, so Lotte is Lot-tuh. I would just spell it Lottie to avoid a lifetime of confusion.

Lot I think, if I knew the name was lottie, I would add and I in automatically

Ah yes the previous danish post is better. 🇩🇰

When I hear the name I think of the song from Phantom of the opera and pronoun its a lot ee

I would be unsure on pronunciation but would have guessed at LOT. My DD has a name that can be pronounced a couple of different ways, it drives me mad having to correct people. I would have picked another name had I foreseen the issue.

I'd pronounce it Lot

Lott-uh/Lotta

Lottie. Like Little Lotte.

I'd say lotta

Lott-uh

your DH is mistaken

Lottie

pron Lot E

Or Charlie, Charley

I know a Lotte and she is originally from Germany, pronounces it Lotta

I'd pronounce it Lotta as well

Choose Charlotte.

My German friend’s second name is Charlotte which she pronounces Char-lotuh son Lotte would be Lotuh.
Just go for Charlotte and call your daughter Lottie as her nn

I would hazard a guess and pronounce it lottie, but in my eyes it definitely says “lot” and I would think the spelling was ridiculous

The Lotte I know is pronounced Lotta

It’s a lovely name but if you want Lottie (also a lovely nickname) then I would spell it Lottie.

That makes no sense. If "lotte" were pronounced "lottie" Charlotte would be pronounced "Charlottie". It's not. Your husband is wrong.

Lottie is short for Charlotte. Call her Charlotte and then you have the choice. Lotte would be a bit confusing here.

If I saw that on a class register I'd guess Lot.

I read it as "Lot".

As a name, I would automatically think ‘Lott-a’. As a word written down though, I automatically read it as ‘Lott-ay’ like the corporation Lotte is pronounced (though I guess that’s not so well known in Europe so not an issue!)

Lotta

Lotte = Lot-uh
