I love that combo, and I personally like Lottie better, but that's just my opinion.

Charlotte is a very classic name and that's why I'm not against it per se. But then again, I find Charlotte someway too fluffy and frilly; instead I prefer other feminine forms of Charles, that is Caroline and Charlene.

In my opinion Charlotte Catherine Elspeth is too long: I'd prefer just Charlotte Catherine, Charlotte Elspeth or Catherine Elspeth (the latter one being my favorite). Af for a NN, I think Lottie is OK.

I've grown weary of Charlotte, especially after having taught at a WASPy prep school for the past year, but Charlotte Catherine Elspeth is quite lovely. Lottie is definitely my favorite nickname.

It flows nicely, but I really dislike Elspeth, and wouldn't use it even as a second middle name. It's so lispy. I feel like I can't say it without spraying spittle. Elspeth does throw in some interest next to the classic-and-tasteful-but-therefore-somewhat-boring Charlotte and Catherine, but since I dislike it, I'd try to find something else that fits the bill. I'd like any of puck's Jane middle names in the slot, except Ariadne and Eurydice.

I like Charlotte, but I would never use it. It's like a beautiful artifact held behind glass; lovely to look at, but I'm not supposed to touch it.

I don't care for Charlotte Catherine Elspeth, NN Lottie or Cecee (though I do like Cece.) It's too...upper-crust, and hoity-toity to me. There is nothing warm about it, even with Lottie/Cecee.
