Thoughts on Lottie...?
Would you put Charlotte on birth certificate and abbreviate to Lottie, or just go for Lottie?

Yeah, it's a cute name when shortened. Like Charlotte too, So win-win situation.

I absolutely hate this name. It's just that name that irks me for no real reason. It's objectively a perfectly fine name.

I would go for Charlotte on BC, more
options and less cutesy when she's a grown up.

It's ok a bit twee, Definitely Charlotte on the Birth cert.

I like it, but I'd go with Charlotte to give her choices. I have a name that can't be shortened and I would love to be able to chose a nn.

Love both names. Charlotte on the birth certificate to give her choices.

I go by a nickname of a name that can be shortened many ways. I've always liked that I have lots of options (but still use the NN my parents called me!)

I’m going to go against the grain here.

I love Lottie as a stand alone name, I know many little Charlotte’s and know many also in their 30’s. They get the nn Charlie, which personally I’m not a fan of for females. Maybe because there is many men named Charles in my family that have gone by the nn Charlie..
So yeah, I vote Lottie!

Charlotte on BC.

Hi,

If you are gonna call her Lottie then I would just stick to Lottie on BC as it a lovely name on its own.

My son is Charlie and Charlie on BC x

I love lottie!!! I also love Charlotte. I have a Charlie too but I never ever intended on calling him Charles so went with Charlie on the birth certificate. Good luck x

Definitely Charlotte on BC. I do like Lottie, I don't find it cutesy. It's a hundred times nicer than Charlie as a diminutive of Charlotte.

I like Lottie, but I'd put Charlotte on the certificate just to give her options in future

I love the name Charlotte.
Lottie’s fine.

I really like Lottie but would personally put Charlotte on the BC.

I have a longer name that has a few different nickname options which has been great as I've got older.

My DC is Lottie but we put Charlotte on birth certificate so she could choose when older, though always called her Lottie. She’s now 14 and hates Charlotte and often says she wants to change her name officially to Lottie as that’s what everyone calls her (and the name she likes).

Charlotte nn Lottie.

Not a fan of diminutives on birth certificates. They don't age well. Too many Freddies, Alfies, Charlies, Teddies, Frankies. Not sure it's so prolific for girls names but Lottie is definitely in the doesn't age well camp

Charlotte on birth certificate. Then lottie. X

Charlotte on birth certificate. Then use Lottie. Both gorgeous names.

I think it's timeless, but go with full name on BC as it gives her choice later.

Charlotte, please. I would hate to be a grown woman called Lottie! It's a perfectly OK nickname for a little girl but she might well choose to go by the longer version as she gets older, so only go for Charlotte if you are happy with Charlotte as a name too.
