Quotations

  • 1852 D. H. Jacques, A Chapter on Names, The Knickerbocker, or, New-York Monthly Magazine, Volume XL, August 1852, page 117:
    My Charlotte conquers with a smile, / And reigneth queen of love.
    In the home-circle and among her companions, Charlotte lays aside her queenship and becomes a gentle Lottie.
  • 1859 George Eliot, Adam Bede, Chapter VII:
    "Here's Totty! By-and-by, what's her other name? She wasn't christened Totty."
    "Oh, sir, we call her sadly out of name. Charlotte's her christened name. It's a name i' Mr. Poyser's family; his grandmother was named Charlotte. But we began calling her Lotty, and now it's got to Totty. To be sure it's more like a name for a dog than a Christian child."
