Re: Charlotte, NN Chat
in reply to a message by Billina
I've heard Chatty for Charlotte - can't recall where. It was literary, not real life. So maybe, Chat / Chatty for Charlotte used to be a thing.
If it's tchat rhyme cat, it's a nay for me ... I can't stand it when people replace a Ch that says "sh" with a Ch that says "tch." (Charlotte called "Charlie," I'm snarling at you.)
If it were said shaht or shawt, it would at least seem natural - but sounds like shot, and like shat too. So...
I'd say yea only if it's a French Charlotte called Chat (cat in French). If that were it, it'd be okay, like Kitty for Katherine or Cat for Catrina.
