we have chosen the name charlotte if we have a girl (team green) but we are not using any nicknames...seems like everyone else out there is after a NN.
anyone else just love plain ol' charlotte?

Re: anyone else NOT using a NN for charlotte?
me! me! me!
Okay, well I'm not actually using the name, but I definitely prefer (and love) just Charlotte. In fact, I loathe pretty much any of the nicknames (especially Charlie) that are brought up on here for it. Great name!

We won't be. I also don't really think about 'planning' on nn's though. I do not like the nn 'Lottie' so I will be sure no one calls her that. SO's dad has already said he plans on calling her 'Charlie' though. I'm not opposed to him calling her that.
We don't "plan" on calling our Charlotte by a nickname all the time. Just as a term of endearment, we have been calling her Lottie.
I prefer Lottie over Charlie any day.
I love Charlotte more than any of its nicknames. Its a beautiful name on its own!
As an aside, I disagree with pp that you won't be able to control her nicknames in school... your child will introduce herself as Charlotte and be known as that. Any other nicknames will be silly pet names stemming from other sources. My name is very easily shortened and usually is, but I never went by a nickname and no one ever tried to call me by one
