NN for Charlotte?

I am really falling in love with the name Charlotte Mary for a little girl, but we're all about nicknames around here.  What are the common nicknames for Charlotte?  DH and I only came up with Charlie.  He loves it, but I'm not so sure.  I know I could just call her Charlotte, but I like to have options.  :)  WDYT?

Thanks in advance!

  • Lottie would be cute for a little girl

  • I love Charley as a nn for Charlotte. Lottie is cute, too.

  • I think Charlie is the best nickname probably.  Others that come to mind are Char, Lotty, Chara...  Also, if you are going to use a 2 syllable nickname, you might as well just stick with Charlotte because it's such a pretty name on its own.

    I love Charlotte, but there aren't really any cute nn for it. I'd just stick with Charlotte. It's only 2 syllables anyway.?
  • How about Charlsie?
  • I would think Char would happen naturally ("Shar," not like "charred"). ?But we are planning to name our little boy Charlie, and I woke up in the middle of the night after dreaming that he turned out to be a girl, woke up DH, and made him promise we could name the baby Charlotte if that happened! ?That way I would still have my Charlie :)

  • I have a friend named Charlotte and most everyone who's close to her calls her Char ("Shar"). Though sometimes we call her Carlotta for fun!

    If you want an "official" nickname, I'd say Lottie. 

  • I'd say Char would come naturally. I like Charli, otherwise. Not sure how I'd spell it..

  • Charlotte is at the top of our name list & aside from Charlie & Char (pronounced Shar), I came up with Cha Cha (like the dance). I think its cute

  • I have a friend who named her daughter Charlotte... and when her older brother was learning how to spell it (he was 6) he discovered that there is an Arlo in the middle....

    Guess what Charlotte answers to now? Yup, Arlo!

  • We named our youngest Charlotte Rose. We do call her Charlotte a lot, but we also use Charli just as much - She's kind of a rough and tumble girly girl so both work nicely. We also call her Char or Char Char (with the Ch sound - not the Sh sound). My husband also calls her Charli Rose a lot.

  • Char, Charlie, Lottie...

  • My name is Charlotte and my parents and siblings always called me Charlie growing up. Either that or my full name Charlotte Faye, but that was mostly because my mother's name is also Charlotte. (I know, it's a little odd) All of my friends called me Charlotte and only knew me by that name. Over the past few years, a lot of my friends have made up their own nn for me and call me Char, and I am fine with that, but prefer my given name, Charlotte over any nicknames.
  • Charlie is the only nn I know of
  • My first thought before opening the post (just from the title) was Charlie.  I am not a fan of unisex names, but for nicknames, I think it is cute for a little girl to have a boy's real name.
