My vote goes to Matilda- I love the book though!! And would want my daughter to be as clever as the character! And it can be shortened to Tilly which is pretty. Good luck!

Matilda.

Jasmine is a "princess" name to me.

I like them both but Jasmine less popular - here anyway - it does make me think Disney Princess though? (I have 4yo so lots of Disney Princess everything!)

I find Matilda very ugly, sorry. Jasmine is okay, very popular around here.

Lol funny you say that. I have 2 girls and we collect the disney store princess teddies.
a friend told me its a very 'asian name' and it may seem silly to use ..

My niece is Jasmine and she is smart, funny, kind, sassy... So I don't get the princess vibe at all Smile

I love both. Maybe use one as first and one as middle name? Jasmine slightly ahead for me as the favourite.

Strange to be torn when they are so different. Jasmine = flower, Matilda = battle hard. Which would you prefer for her? That's how I would go (and have gone) about choosing

They are very different! I prefer Matilda or Mathilde. But I think they are quite popular now?
