Baby Name Poll Results

You can have multiple nicknames! My daughter’s name is Margaret, and we call her Meg, Nutmeg, Little Nut, Peanut, and other variations on a daily basis! My sister’s name is Julie, and we called her Jules, Ju, Jolly (don’t ask) and basically anything else that started with a J. You’re not constricted to one nickname! :)

That being said, I voted for Lo because it "sounds" more correct, as there is a long o sound in Lotus, not an ah sound like in Lottie. And while I adore the nickname Lottie, it doesn’t roll off the tongue superbly, IMO.

However, I think you can use both! Good luck! Let us know when little Lotus arrives.

Thank you. I will let everyone know when she gets here. I’m due to be induced tomorrow. Scarry!

I agree! Most nicknames come after the baby has been born, and are not pre-planned. My daughter’s name is Lily and we call her Lulu, Lily-Lou, Lulu-Fanny, Baby-Lou, and so many other names, haha :) Same with our other children, who have many nicknames. While I’m not a huge fan of either of your nicknames I think Lo is the best one, or even Lolo would be cute too! All the best with your induction (I was induced for 2 of my 3 kids and I actually preferred it over going into labour naturally!) and praying for a safe delivery for you!
