We love the name [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] but aren’t into popular names… part of the reason we like this name though is because it has multiple nn options (Charlie, [name_f]Char[/name_f], Lottie). I love names like [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], etc but my husband doesn’t like how they don’t have many choices to shorten. Suggestions???
I would suggest…
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]- [name_f]Susy[/name_f], [name_f]Sue[/name_f], [name_f]Sanni[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] , [name_f]Sukie[/name_f]. But [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is rarely heard these days.
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]- [name_f]Miri[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], Ri, [name_f]Mamie[/name_f]
[name_u]Abilene[/name_u]- [name_u]Abbie[/name_u], [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_f]Lena[/name_f]

Hello!
Similar initial sound to [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (mostly 2 syllable):
[name_f]Charlene[/name_f] nn “Char” “Lena” “Charlie” “Chara”
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f] nn “Chi” “Ari” “Airy”
[name_f]Chantel[/name_f] nn “Chanti” “Telli”
[name_f]Cherice[/name_f] nn “Cher” “Rissy” “Reesy” “Cherry /Sherry”
Mostly two syllable names with a more traditional feel like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] but less popularity (out of the US top 200):
[name_u]Camille[/name_u] nn “Cam” “Millie” “Milla” “Cami” (out of the top 200 in the US) I love this alternative for you!
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] nn “Jackie” “Linny” even “Kenni/Kenna”
[name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] nn “Tia” “Tiffy” “Tiff” “Titi” or even “Ani”
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] nn “Rose” “Rosa” “Mundi” “Ro”
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] nn “Rue” “BiBi”
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] nn “Mar” “Mari” “Renni”
[name_f]Helene[/name_f] nn “Elle” “Lena” “Len” “Lenny” “Ella”
[name_u]Laurel[/name_u] nn “Lore” “Relli” “Elle”
Hopefully these help

A few are longer than 2 syllables but I tried to aim for ones that didn’t feel too much longer:

That was harder than I thought it’d be. I can think of tons of three or four syllable names with multiple nns, but two is a little harder! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
