Lottie's ok for a young child, but I can't really picture it on someone over 7 or 8.

I think Charlotte is prettier than Lottie. Lottie is kind of cute, but Charlotte is better, IMO.

Love it!!I love Lottie, AND Charlotte. It seems to be a rare thing for me to love both the full and and the nickname. And Lottie is so vintage and awesome.

I love the name Lottie and thought it would go well with Charlotte. However, one day my friend said Charlotte was too similiar to Harlot. That idea was blown out of the water.

HarlotYea, I love the name Charlotte in theory, but it only makes me think of an ultra feminine harlot; Harlotte.

You know what, though? Most people probably don't know what a harlot is, especially young children. It's a dying word.

Yah, but adults know it. Just the fact that I have a friend that would bring it up ruins the name for me. I will forever just be imagining my friend thinking about it everytime she is with my daughter. Ya know?Additionally, when baby Harlow was born, the huge outrage from people about how it was so similiar to harlot kind of negates the idea that people don't know the word harlot.

Very trueI don't think the more "creative" and old-school words for "woman of loose morals" are quite so prevalent these days. I had to teach a thirty year old woman from Texas what "strumpet" meant the other day.

As sad as it is, I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about that. Teenagers today seem to prefer the words "hoe" and "hore." Yes, spelled like that apparently. :(But to be less OT... I think Lottie is the cutest nn I can come up with for Charlotte. And I've never thought of harlot when I hear it either.

I like it a little. Lottie sound semi-dated to me.
