Comments for LOTTE:
Lotte Jacobi was a Polish-American photographer.-- Anonymous User 1/2/2006
Lotte is the young lady whom the main character loves (and eventually suicides because of) in Goethe's 'The Sorrows of Young Werther'.-- Nadriana 5/20/2006
Little Lotte is a fairy tale character mentioned in the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" ("Little Lotte thought to herself, 'Am I fonder of dolls, or of goblins, of shoes, of riddles, of frocks.") but here, it's pronounced "LAH-tee". I'm not sure if it's just a mispronunciation by the actors--although I like LAH-tee better than LAH-tah.-- Lady Seashell 7/2/2008
About the 'LAH-tee vs. LAH-tah', I believe 'LAH-tee' is simply the 'English' version of the name. That's how English speaking people would pronounce it if they just read it. In the Dutch and German language however, it is 'LAH-tah'.-- Myrthe 12/24/2008
I think Lotte is a great name! It's not childish, just lovely! In Dutch we pronounce it as lot-ah.-- Kaat5 4/6/2009
I know someone named Lotte. She pronounces it Low-ta. I think it sounds really cool when it's pronounced that way.-- ALOF10 12/3/2009
In Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita", the title character's mother (Charlotte) is nicknamed Lotte (and, at one point, "Lottelita") by the narrator, Humbert Humbert.-- Sophannagh 12/7/2009
As well as just generally hating this name, I feel obliged to point out that 'la Lotte' can mean 'monkfish' in French, 'codfish' in Old French and 'burbot' in Canadian French. Not said the same, but written down, who's to know? An ugly name with an unfortunate coincidence.-- UbiquitousUnicycle 1/4/2010
