I don't care for Lottie either, now that you mention it! It comes out "loddy" in my accent, and seems precious since it's not shorter than Charlotte, but only cuter. It's not as bad as Charlie with a CH sound like Charles, though. I guess I can stand Charlie if it's pronounced with a SH. I agree that Char will not do, but it is shorter, and if a Charlotte gets called that, it would be up to her to refuse it - same as a Rachel can refuse to be addressed as "Raitch" or a Diana can refuse to be addressed as "Die."
