Help[Opinions] Charlotte Vs. Charlote
Which spelling do you prefer? I have an aversion to the double T's, so I prefer Charlote I, also, like Eliot, spelled with one l and one t.

I do think Eliot looks a lot better than Elliott (Elliot is fine though), but I don't hate the double t.
I like the double t in Charlotte though. I don't think of the French pronunciation of the "lotte" when I see Charlote like I do when I see Charlotte. Charlote is also less frilly and I think the frilliness is the whole point of Charlotte.
What do you think about Charlete? I'm not sure if I like it as a variant of Charlotte or a different feminization of Charles, but it does look less like a typo of Charlotte and wouldn't make people want to say shar-LOAT.

Charlotte is my name.
If my name was "Charlote" as opposed to "Charlotte" and I had to write "Charlote" on my CV, I would be fearful that people would dismiss my CV or have them start off on a bad note because of the "typo". Why would somebody hire me if I can't even spell my own name correctly? How did I overlook the missing t? On my own name? What else would I overlook if I am hired?
If this were the case, I'd probably be inclined to spell my name "Charlotte" as opposed to "Charlote" for the purpose of not looking like an idiot when applying for a job.
...and then legally change my name to the normal spelling because I'm tired of correcting people

It’s what I’m used to, and it’s looks more complete. Charlote looks like a typo.

By far Charlotte. Charlote looks misspelled to me and like it should be pronounced as char-LOWt.

Charlote looks to me like it should be pronounced with an /ə/ at the end.

I didn't know there was any precedent for using Charlote with only one "t."
To me, it looks like a typo. It would be an awfully long life of correcting every single person's initial spelling of your name.

Totally agree

Charlote makes no sense to me, I want to pronounce it char-LOWT. It also looks weird. No, Charlotte is definitely the way to go.

I don’t care for Charlote. Changing the spelling affects how it would be pronounced, so I want to say shar-LOET instead of SHAR-lot.
I do like Eliot though.

Definitely. Any other way just doesn't look right. Looks misspelled and unnatural in my opinion. I would assume it to be a typo.
