Clara or Lottie

Both are good names!

Both great, I would plump for Lottie

Clara
Unless you use Charlotte and have lottie as a diminutive

I’d go for Clara unless you are going for Charlotte nn. lottie

lottie for a 6 yr old - gorgeous
lottie for a CEO - our survey says ❌

Clara, I nearly named one of my twins this so I love it, but Lottie is sweet too

Like both, but agree with others that I’d only use Lottie as a nickname for Charlotte.

Love Clara - a gorgeous name that has a lovely vintage chic vibe to me and works well for all ages.

Lottie is so lovely for a child but I prefer as a nn for Charlotte.

Clara

By the time Lottie gets to CEO level, her contemporaries will be extremely used to diminutives as names - she'll be surrounded by Alfies, Teddys, Evies etc. I would not let it put you off.

Lottie sounds quite childish, maybe won't age well. So must be Clara. Or Carlotta.

Both lovely. U will just have to have an extra child 😄

Definitely Clara or Charlotte. Lottie is lovely but not for an adult as others have said above.

Clara, love it.

Clara

Clara as I personally find diminutives like Lottie a bit sparse or childish sounding as a given name. Charlotte is fine though.

Both lovely. I worked with an adult Lottie and it suited her well but I get other people's concerns.

My preference is Clara but it really depends on your family name. If you have a surname with lots of 'ar' sounds (e.g. Parker, Sharples, Grant) I don't think Clara would work. Can't just take first name alone to make the choice.

Clara is lovely.

Or charlotte

Yes Lottie is 'sweet' so I would avoid for that reason.
Clara. Prefer Cara though.

Agree

Sorry should've said it would be Charlotte on BC but always known as Lottie.

Our boy name is Ben but unsure if it would be Benjamin or something else

Clara.

I originally said I preferred Clara, but I actually love Charlotte nn Lottie with Benjamin nn Ben - a perfect pairing imo!

Love Clara.
Also Anna-Clara.

Also love Lottie. Agree with others about Charlotte but as an adult name you can also got for Lotte (more Continental) or Liselotte.

Both are lovely names, don’t overthink the business thing as the ones that chose business names for their kids are still looking for proper jobs despite being in their 30’s.
