Two syllables, LOT-ee, give it a bright, playful sound. Charlotte is the full name behind it.
Lottie ranks well in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England and Wales, and is very rare in Sweden and Austria. It is a genuine vintage name: in the Ontario and British Columbia records it was at its height at the very start, and the median bearer was born in 1933. Now it is rising in four places with no falls recorded, as parents bring it back as a full name rather than only a nickname.
