I vote Marnie :)

I really like both! Probably just about prefer Marnie. I would presume Lotta was a nickname for Charlotte or similar (I know MN is very divided on that issue though) - but a very lovely one!

MrsSkylerWhite · 01/03/2023 10:02

Love both, Marnie favourite.

Margaret nn Marnie
Charlotte, Charlotta, Carlotta nn Lottie and Lotta

I have a family member called Marnie in her 40s and she detests her name. So I would go with no for that.

soleilblue · 01/03/2023 12:27

I love lotta

Bunnyishotandcross · 01/03/2023 12:29

Lotto - too similar!
I love Marine and considered it but does shout Marmite to me too!

Bunnyishotandcross · 01/03/2023 12:29

Marnie - sorry new phone!

My daughter used to have an imaginary friend called Lotta when she was little.
She got it from the character in Charlie & Lola.

hotdiggetydog · 01/03/2023 13:51

Both absolutely shite

FisherThem · 01/03/2023 13:53

I'm no now a Swedish Lotta and think it's a pretty name

LaLaLouella · 01/03/2023 14:01

Both beautiful!

GoodChat · 01/03/2023 14:02

Definitely Marnie.

I think people would forever be asking you to repeat Lotta.

Margo34 · 01/03/2023 14:05

Lotta reminds me of the 80s slogan milk glass, 'gotta lotta bottle' 😆

Not so keen on Marnie but can't pinpoint why.

Londonmama85 · 01/03/2023 16:00

Lottie is far nicer than Lotta! Marnie sounds like a dogs name..

hlc123 · 01/03/2023 16:46

Marnie is a gorgeous name, I would love to be called that

FayCarew · 01/03/2023 16:50

Gotta Lotta Bottle
Whole Lotta Love/Rosie

Sheitgeist · 01/03/2023 16:52

Not keen on either, they both sound a bit nicknamey.

Shimmermetimbers · 01/03/2023 16:58

Marnie just makes me think of Geordie Shore. Are they not both short for something else?

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 01/03/2023 18:01

I like Marnie. I remember reading When Marnie Was There several times as a child.

Lotta makes me think 'lotta laughs'

Twoinapod · 01/03/2023 18:06

Are they nicknames or would you be using them as full names? I’m not overly keen on either. Marnie is a bit frumpy, Lotta is open to a lotta jokes

ourflagmeansdeath · 01/03/2023 18:51

Both aren't my taste, but Lotta I think? I love Charlotte and like Lottie so I could work with Lotta.

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/03/2023 18:59

Love Marnie, beautiful name. Lotta not so much.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 01/03/2023 19:00

Marnie is a lovely name! I'm vastly less keen on Lotta, but Charlotte, nn Lottie or Lotta if you must would actually edge Marnie out...

NastyNiff · 01/03/2023 19:03

Isn't Marnie that rather dark Hitchcock film... I mean even more disturbing than usual
