[Facts] Re: Attn Dutch posters
Lotte is a short form of Charlotte. Lot is an even shorter form of the name.They are not diminutives, because if they were, then they would have had one of the following suffixes: -ie, -je and -ke. Here are a few known diminutives of Charlotte:- Lotje
- Lotteke (you're more likely to encounter this one in Flanders than in the Netherlands)
- Lottie (this one is also variantly spelled as Lotti and Lotty)You can find all of them in the database at the website of the Meertens Institute, which I see you're already familiar with.Oh, and I'm Dutch, by the way. :)
