The nicknames for Charlotte are very limited. Lottie, Char and Charlie are the only ones I can think of. Personally, I'm not really a big fan of Lottie, (and of course the first thing that comes to mind is the Princess and the frog) but I do like the name Charlotte.
I loooove Charlotte and the nickname Lottie is adorable! It actually reminds me of The Phantom of the Opera (Raoul mentions "Little Lottie" in reference to Christine I believe). Anyway yes I absolutely loove it!
Personally I really dislike it. I was very nearly a Charlotte/Lottie and I've always been grateful my parents didn't go with it. I don't mind Charlotte but I just don't like Lottie (or Charlie for that matter).
It is the nn of a character in one of my favorite books, All Other Nights, so I'm inclined to love it! And it is SO MUCH better than Char as a nickname.
Well, it's my name, and I quite like it. No one ever used the nickname Lottie except when I lived in Germany, a few people called me "Lotte" which I find really pretty. But the way people would pronounce it in the US (basically Law-dee) never really appealed to me, so I'm glad no one used it. My family has always called me Charlie, which I like, and friends here and there have called me Char which isn't my favorite thing ever but I don't really mind it either...
The nickname Lottie always makes me think of Japanese confectionery company, Lotte (which I think is pronounced the same way), and their delicious Koala's March chocolate-filled biscuits which I grew up with! XD
I've always loved having the name Charlotte, but I never really liked any of the nicknames. Lottie, Charlie... they just aren't me. I've always been a Charlotte.
