Or Lottie, which I rather like. One of my nieces is called Charlotte. Such a pretty name.

Ooops - sorry Mags, didn't mean to offend you. My younger sister was a Margaret and she used to cry if anyone abbreviated it - it is such a lovely name.

Re: Royal Baby

I like the names they've chosen, very nice I thought.
Talking of shortening names, something I have never liked is the way the media call William "Wills". I'd hate that if I was him. "Will" is not so bad, but put an "S" on the end, and I find that really irritating, sounds like the poor man's about 3 years old.

Some of us have no choice - I prefer Patricia - no one has ever called me Patricia - except David Cameron
