Carlotta

HannahO28

I'm not Italian enough to use this name, am I? (read...we're not even a little bit Italian).

But I love it! And I think the NN Lottie is the cutest, but I'm sick of Charlotte.

Any thoughts?

It reminds me of the phantom of the opera and not in a good way. The very large very loud very annoying opera singer was named Carlotta.

What about just Lotte? When I looked up Lotte on behindthename.com, it said it's also a diminuitive form of Liselotte. Maybe that suits you better.

Also, Carlotta isn't only Italian - it's used in Spanish and Portugese, and Charlotta is used in Swedish. Does any of that fit your background?

oooo I'm a quarter Sweedish! Maybe I could get away with that.

Thanks for doing some research for me!

I immediately had this association too. I'm a huge Phantom fan

I like it.  Reminds me of Hitchcock's Vertigo.

Lottie is such a sweet nickname. I don't think you have to be Italian (even a little bit) to use the name Carlotta. I say go for it!

ETA - I also think Liselotte is a pretty option, but I wouldn't have the guts to use it.

Thanks! Bless you if you got through the whole thing! 

ETA: Oh! And I've been meaning to tell you that my DH suggested Sable out of the blue recently. I was shocked because I've been trying to get him on board with Mabel for months now. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I love Lottie but I'm not a fan of Carlotta.

I LOVE Carlotta.  I can't even begin to say that I hate Charlotte, but I am so exhausted by its overuse.

I wouldn't even try to peg you italian/portuguese/spanish/swedish based on the name.

I don't really like Carlotta that much, even if you were Italian. But I LOVE PP's suggestion of Liselotte.

Lottie is adorable, I'm not too fond of Carlotta, though.

Funny cause all my nieces and nephews call my DD Scarlotta or Scarletta (her name is Scarlet)   I never would have thought of it but it sounds cute when they say it     I think Carlotta is pretty - I can see people calling her Carly tho   not sure if you like that...   lottie is adorable
