Love Charlotte nn Lottie. It's my 6 yr old cousins name. Lottie is such a great nn, so much better than Charlie, which is all boy to me. But I guess that's the nice thing about Charlotte- options for when she grows up, for what suits her best.

---

Charlotte - Lottie or Charley? Lottie
Isabella - Izzy or Bella? Izzy
Matilda - Mattie or Tilly? Tilly
Beatrix - Bea or Trixie? Trixie
Catherine - Cate or Cath? Cate
Eleanor - Ellie, Ella or Nora? Ellie and Nora (Ella is a full name to me, not a nn)
Emmeline - Emma or Emmy? Emmy (Emma sounds different)

I just prefer Charlotte (no nn)

---

Charlotte - Lottie or Charley? Neither. Just Charlotte
Isabella - Izzy or Bella? Neither, I prefer Iza
Matilda - Mattie or Tilly? Tilly
Beatrix - Bea or Trixie? Bea
Catherine - Cate or Cath? Cathy, but Cate's okay.
Eleanor - Ellie, Ella or Nora? Nora
Emmeline - Emma or Emmy? Emmy

I love Charlotte, my fave girl's name!

---

Charlotte - definitely prefer Charley by far (spelled Charlie though!)
Isabella - Bella (not really fond of being called Izzy)
Matilda - Tilly
Beatrix - Bea
Catherine - Cate (so much more class!)
Eleanor - Nora (ditto and more substance!)
Emmeline - Emma (tritto!)

I'm really not much of a fan of Charlotte, but I do like Lottie quite a bit.

---

Charlotte - Lottie, definitely.
Isabella - Bella, but I don't really like either. I prefer Isabel/Isobel.
Matilda - Tilly
Beatrix - Bea
Catherine - Cate
Eleanor - Ella, but I prefer just Elle.
Emmeline - Emma

I like Charlotte, but not Lottie. Well, maybe. I still think Charley is better though.

---

Charlotte - Charley (prn with a "sh" sound)
Isabella - Well, I suppose Izzy. Also Isa and Bel. I only like Bella as a full nam.
Matilda - Mattie.
Beatrix - I like Trix bot not Trixie.
Catherine - Cate. Maybe it's just because I haven't known any, but Cath juat makes me think of the word Caholic or something/
Eleanor - Ella.
Emmeline - Emmy. I only like Emma as a full name.

Lottie is only nn I like for Charlotte

Charlotte - Lottie - It's "cute" but ages well.
Isabella - Bella - More mature and lovely sounding to the ear.
Matilda - Mattie - I prefer no nickname. Tilly doesn't age well, imo. Mattie is just okay.
Beatrix - Bea - It's sweet and simple. Trixie sounds like a dog name.
Catherine - Cate - More elegant but still approachable.
Eleanor - Ella - Though I prefer Noor.
Emmeline - Emmy - It is less common though it does sound a little too cutesy. I'm not sure how well it would age.

I think Charlotte nn Lottie is kind of counterintuitive. I like it just "Charlotte," with occasional nickname Shar or Charlie.

---

Isabella - I like both a lot
Matilda - Tilly by far
Beatrix - Both
Catherine - umm Cate. I also like Cathy tho
Eleanor - Nora
Emmeline - Emma is not a nickname, Emmeline is the nickname.

---

I like Bernadette nn Birdie, I think that is adorable. I also really like Nancy, Inga/Enga, Zelda, Nella. umm Bill. idk.

Some are a bit unintuitive

---

So could be problematic.

---

Isabella - Ibby
Matilda - Milla
Beatrix - Bee
Catherine - Kitty
Eleanor - Don't have one.
Emmeline - Melly

---

Charlotte - I can't help wanting to shorten it to Harlot. I don't like it. I'd pick Lottie, it's sweet. I love to see it stand alone. Charly/Charlie is okay enough. I love the old Lottchen and Tottie but the latter is most definitely unsuable now.

I adore Charlotte but without a nickname - it is only two syllables after all and so doesn't need to have a nickname...I kinda like Lott though. I detest Charley - the spelling, the masculinity...Charlie is a boys name only for me.

---

Isabella - I much prefer Bella. It is elegant, sophisticated and kinda quirky. However, I like Izzy as a nn for Israel (m).

---

Matilda - I prefer Tilly but like Matilda by itself as well. It is my favourite name.

---

Beatrix - Trixie is very cool and quirky. I adore it but Bea is also pretty spunky.

---

Eleanor - Nora is very elegant. Lovely.

---

Emmeline - Emma cheapens the elegance and quality of Emmeline for me. Emmy is very cool as an occasional nn though.

Charlotte - Lottie (but I don't really like Charlotte)
Isabella - Izzy (I really dislike Bella)
Matilda - Mattie (But Tilly is nice as well)
Beatrix - Bea (Trixie is a bit of a poodle name..)
Catherine - Cate
Eleanor - Nora (And I like Ellie as well)
Emmeline - I don't like either or Emmeline itself.

Lets go Lene, Norah, Cate, Beatie, Tilda, Zabela & Charlie

I love Charlotte and Lottie!

Beatrix - Bea
Catherine - Cate
Eleanor - Ellie or Nora

I like Lottie so much more than Charlie / Charley as a nn for Charlotte. It's sweeter and so much less boyish, but I think it could still fit a tomboy.

---

Charlotte - Lottie
Isabella - Izzy... But I think that Bella would fit a girly girl better than Izzy would.
Matilda - Mattie
Beatrix - Bea
Catherine - Cathy
Eleanor - Nora
Emmeline - Emma

Charlotte - Lottie or Charley? Charley, but I prefer the spelling Charlie because Charley looks more masculine to me. I've never been a fan of Lottie.
Isabella - Izzy or Bella? I prefer Bella. Izzy is too cutesy for my liking.
Matilda - Mattie or Tilly? Definitely Mattie. I really don't care for Tilly.
Beatrix - Bea or Trixie? Bea.
Catherine - Cate or Cath? I prefer Cate. How about Cat as opposed to Cath?
Eleanor - Ellie, Ella or Nora? Either Ellie or Nora. I don't really care for Ella. I do like Elle though.
Emmeline - Emma or Emmy? Emma.

Charlotte-Charley

Matilda-Mattie
Beatrix-Bea

Lottie is really cute. I love it, but I prefer it as a nickname for Charlotta.

Matilda - Tilly. Mattie is all male to me.
Beatrix - Bea, definitely. I don't like Trixie.

Emmeline - Emmy

I dislike Charlotte but I definitely prefer Lottie as a nn to Charley (which I hate)

---

Beatrix - Bea or Trixie? -- definitely Bea

---

Catherine - Cate or Cath? -- Cate

Eleanor - Ellie, Ella or Nora? -- Ellie but like them all

---

Emmeline - Emma or Emmy? -- It's funny, I don't like most of the formal names that Emmy can be derived from, but I love Emmy.

Matilda - Tilly
Beatrix - Trixie
Catherine - Cate
Eleanor - Ella
Emmeline - Emma

I think Charlotte needs to stay Charlotte.

Bella is permissible to me, Mattie is inevitable, Bea is fine, Cate, any of those Eleanor ones are fine, I'd go with Elle personally, and Emmeline should be Emmy.
