help please serious clash of opinions

[danio7]

I LOVE the name Matilda but my husband hates it, he has encouraged me to post my suggestion on MN to get unbiasted thoughts... what do you all think?!

[mrswoodentop]

I am not a big fan I am afraid ,and there are an awful lot of them .

[BibiBelle]

Pretty and getting more popular - that however shouldn't bother you if you love the name

[CharlieBoo]

Don't go mad myself... It used to be different when I was pg with my eldest 7 years ago, but they're everywhere now. That might not out you off though. Also, you both have to love the name you choose....

[said]

Think it's great. I'm aware it's considered popular on mn but I don't actually know any. Know a Tilly who is just Tilly. Tilda is a great nn

[pilates]

Think it's a nice name, don't know any either.

[MrsRupertBear]

I Love the name Matilda. It would definately be a front runner for me the next time around - even though some may say it is getting more popular.

[Kveta]

are you me?! I adore the name too, have been suggesting it for a while (TTC at the mo). DH hates it though :( it's such a shame, as in his country it is often shortened to Macia (with the 'c' pronounced like 'ts') or to Tila, which I think is very cute indeed for a baby.

I'm now veering towards Lydia or Klaudie. Also love Miriam and Magdalena, but I don't want a religious name, so those will remain on my 'nice, but not for me' list.

[PurpleStrawberry]

I love the name Matilda.

[PrincessJenga]

I love it... but if your DH doesn't then what I think doesn't really matter does it?

[SloganLogan]

I don't like it at all, sorry! It's a name which to me is in the same "harsh" category as Hilda, Brunhilda, Clotilda, Gerda, Griselda.

[exoticfruits]

I think it is OK, but if DH hates it you have to keep searching until you find one you both like.

[duckdodgers]

I dont like it, so Im with your DH, sorry.

[TillyIpswitch]

I can take it or leave it; best friend's DD is Matilda and it's lovely on her.

Moot point though - if your DH hates it it really has to go off the list.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Everywhere.

[Sophiesmummie]

I don't like it, sorry.

But who cares what we think. If you dh doesn't like it, then I think you need to find a name you both love.

[magicmelons]

Love it, but you can't make him choose a name he dislikes.

[mayanna123]

Who cares what we think.... YOU and DH have to love your name choice!
