Hello!

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and we can't decide a name!

I like classic names with cute nicknames, we had decided on Charlotte (Lottie) but someone said ooooh Charlie is cute and >t really put me off so back to the drawing board! No hate to Charlie's out there btw its a lovely name just not for me!

Her older brother is called Edward but known as Teddy.

Charlotte abbreviated to Lottie is lovely! I know a fair few Charlottes and none of them ever get abbreviated to Charlie! If you love the name I’d go for it and wouldn’t let this put you off.

Veronica suddenly came to mind. Teddy and Vera has a quirky, cute 1940s vibe.

I like Charlotte. People won’t call her Charlie if you call her Lottie.

I like Elizabeth to Lizzy, Liza, Beth.

Victoria to Tori

Olivia to Livi is probably my favourite example.

Charlotte is a beautiful name, and not every Charlotte have the nickname Charlie! Definitely not! Lottie is a great nickname for Charlotte!
In my country the nicknames for Charlotte or Charlotta are usually Lottie, Lotte, Lotta, or Challe.
I think you should use the name Charlotte and the nickname Lottie.
