Lilly or Lottie

[tikoli]

I'm really struggling deciding on a name. Which one do you prefer? I've got a list of about 10 that I keep going between. Current top of the list are these two:

Lilly or Lottie?

What do you think?

Lottie

I love both names but know more Lily’s than Lottie’s

Out of the 2 i'd choose Lilly, although prefer the spelling Lily.

However if Lottie is short for Charlotte then that would get my vote out of the 2.

Lilly

Definitely Lilly / Lillie / Lily

Lottie, from those 2.

Lottie hands down

I would call her Charlotte and shorten it to Lottie (family name in past)

I know a lot of Lilly’s but no Lotties or indeed Charlottes

What else is on yr list ? I really like Vivienne shortened to Vivi, Beatrix or Margot

Lottie

Lily (hate ll spelling) or Charlotte shortened to Lottie

Lily.. definitely spent like that,

Lottie is lovely - I hate, hate, hate Lily.

Both are good, I'll say but the Lily spelling over Lilly for sure.

Prefer Lily but definitely better spelled with one L like the flower

I have a Charlotte / Lottie, and still love it.

I know 3 dogs called Lottie, Lily all the way!

I'd alter both. Lilly to Lily and Lottie to Charlotte. Use both - Charlotte Lily is really pretty imo.

Lily - Lottie is a shortening of Charlotte.

Thanks all. Yes, Lily rather than double L.
I did think that Lily is just a bit widespread and I fear with the royal 'Lilibet' there may just be more and more.
I like Lottie but not really Charlotte so would just go for the shorter version. I'm still not fully sold. Some other options on the list were
Alma
Luisa
Eva
Lexi
Sofia

So hard!!

I did think that Lily is just a bit widespread and I fear with the royal 'Lilibet' there may just be more and more.

I can't see it changing in popularity as it's been a popular name long before the new Lilibet. Also it might just be me but I didn't even make the connection until you mentioned it.

I personally wouldn't use Lottie without the longer name of Charlotte, but I do like Eva and Sofia from your list.

Lieselotte if you don't like Charlotte.

Lexi isn't a name either. Alexandra or Alexis and then she will have a multitude of nicknames to choose from.

Of the new names...

Alma - I like this a lot
Luisa - I'd spell it Louisa personally. It's pretty.
Eva - very dull and overused.
Lexi - nice nn but a bit...meh...by itself.
Sofia - again, very overused.

Personally I'd lean towards Luisa or Alma. You have a lot of names beginning with L! Would you think of looking at more L names to find 'the one'?

Other L names off the top of my head: Lisette, Lorelei, Lucinda, Lucia, Liberty, Laurel, Liana, Leona, Leilani, Luna, Lydia, Lucille, Lara etc.

Alba
Liv,
Scout
Phoebe
Lucia
Sylvia
Luna
Liesl
Lotte - very close to Lottie but without being shortened and one of my favourites!
there are so many Lily's and Evie/Eva/Eve's around...

Oh I love Lieselotte @ActonSquirrel, as is Lotte. That's very pretty too.
I agree about Eva and Sofia being very popular names too. Oh difficult decisions! I quite like Lucy and Lara too @SionnachRua. Clearly drawn to names with L!
