Tillie is ok, prefer Matilda for full.

Prefer Alex to Alec.

Natalie is ok also.

Like alex or alec

Prefer Tilly to Tillie (but think that the world is now full of tilly/millie/lilly and maybe overkill!)

'fraid I don't like Natasha (mainly because my name is relatively similar and people always call me Natasha by mistake!)

I like them both OP, do you mean Tillie as shortening?

Natalie is a good name, works for a little girl and an adult woman.

Not so keen on Tillie, ok for a nickname but not imo a full name.

I prefer Natalya/Natalia for a girl ... Talia for short. I think it is a little more sophisticated for when the dc becomes an adult. I don't mind Alec but I don't love it to be honest.

I like Tally (for Natalie or Natalia), Alec will probably get called Alex anyway (and have vision of Alec Gilroy off Corrie)

Alexanders can also be Sandy if that helps.

Hmmm, Alec not gone down too well then! Didn't know there was a Corrie character called Alec.
We have a very English surname, so not sure about Natalia - although I do like it. Natasha a very close second so far. Thanks Everyone.

I love Matilda not so sure about Tillie.

What about Tess?

Know a couple of Natalies and have thought it a nice name.

I prefer Natalie to Tilly, think Tilly is a bit fluffy for a grown woman tbh.
Prefer Alex to Alec-don't know why.

As a mum of a Talia I am biased but think it's a very pretty name

I prefer Nathalie spelling. Not sure I like how it gets shortened to Nat though.

RockinSockBunnies · 05/02/2009 19:46

Bucking the trend here but definitely prefer Alec to Alex.

Not so keen on Natalie though.

I'm liking Tessa now too.

I like Tillie/Tilly as short for Matilda.
Natalie is ok.
Not keen on Alec. If anything I'd prefer Alex, as short for Alexander.
