Hiya,
My mother is full-blood
German so I'm pretty used to different pronunciations. Ex. I see
Daniela and
say dan-EE-la, not Danielle-ah. Whenever I see
Lotte, I say lot-tee. However, not everyone, as you
said, is used to this, so if someone was using
Lotte and wanted to make sure the "e" was pronounced,
they could write it Lottë.
