CC. Char, Lottie- such a great name!

I think Lottie is adorable.

Char

tell him there will not be a nickname. If he wants to call her a different name then name her that name.

Carly

Charlie and Lottie are about the only two I know of.

You hear Charlie a lot. My aunt was Charlotte and was called Char or Charl (both with initial sh- sound).

I really like charlie. Lottie / lettie is another choice, but I'm not too into that. Plus any combo initial CJ, CC, etc. Also, there are the organic nicknames that your child just somehow generates.

Charlie. I love those more masculine nicknames for little girls - I think it sounds tough and confident and cool. I knew a girl named Jamie growing up and she went by James. Girl was bitchin in every way.

Carlie.

Charlotte by itself is a lovely name. My daughter's name is Caroline (similar in length and formality). She has never gone by a nickname and it hasn't been an issue, i.e. nobody has ever tried to call her Carrie or anything like that.

Charlie's the obvious one.

It's not a real nickname, but we have friends who often shorten their daughter's name and call her Char (pronounced with a soft c like Shar).

My friend's daughter is Charlotte with a "C-" middle name and goes by CC.

Charlie. Only.

Stay away from Lottie.

I love the name Charlotte but the husband seems on the fence about it - he made some comment along the lines of "what would her nickname be? Charlie?"
Any thoughts on other nickname options would be great (and no, a nickname isn't 100% necessary, but I'd love to have other options to present to him).
