Our dd2 is due in less than 2 weeks. We have decided on Matilda but now I'm awake reconsidering our very first choice(before we knew it was a girl) of Georgia, we discarded this for Daisy then unanimously settled on Matilda. Now I'm wondering did we make a mistake. If you had to choose between Georgia & Matilda, which would you choose & why? Xxx

I find both names twee.

Have you considered Georgina?

shazbean · 05/01/2014 20:20

No, in Scotland.

JanetAndRoy · 05/01/2014 19:38

I like Matilda most, and prefer Georgina to Georgia.

Rtfairy · 05/01/2014 19:36

Definitely Matilda! x

ToffeeOwnsTheSausage · 05/01/2014 19:25

Matilda with an H looks awful.

ToffeeOwnsTheSausage · 05/01/2014 19:23

Matilda definitely.

Georgia is boring imho.

ricecakeaddict · 05/01/2014 19:23

Georgia gets my vote as I think it's great for babies, children and adults. In terms of current popularity, Matilda was a few places higher than Georgia in the last ONS results. Are those commenting on Georgia's popularity talking about for all under 18s or for babies born in the last few years?

Oubliette0292 · 05/01/2014 18:43

I prefer Matilda.

secretsofsanta · 05/01/2014 18:42

I'm in South Wales wish Smile

Matilda is far, far nicer than Georgia. I suspect there will be a lot of Georgia and Georginas this year after Prince George.

Wishfulmakeupping · 05/01/2014 18:37

shazbean and alis can I be nosey please and ask if you both live down south I know it is popular there? Thanks

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/01/2014 18:34

Matilda.

Georgia is wildly popular in my immediate local area and has been since the mid 1990's. There are so many!

hawkmcqueen · 05/01/2014 18:33

Prefer Georgia not keen on Matilda don't like the hard d

shazbean · 05/01/2014 18:28

Like both but prefer Mathilda - Georgia is very popular round our way at the moment.

DramaAlpaca · 05/01/2014 18:27

Matilda

custardismyhamster · 05/01/2014 18:26

The Georgia I know (mid twenties) goes by Geo

IAmTheOneWhoKnocks · 05/01/2014 18:24

I prefer Georgia but I do like Matilda.

I reckon you should wait till she's born and see what suits her best.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/01/2014 17:40

I like Daisy better then Georgia (which personally, I dislike - sorry) or Matilda (but would go for that over Georgia).

BEEwitched · 05/01/2014 15:45

I like Georgia but prefer Georgina, it's on my name list.

I like Matilda as well, though!

HomeHypno · 05/01/2014 14:22

Matilda is my favourite. I also like Tilly as nn. All female Georgias I know are known as 'George' which is funny in a kind of ironic way but not really. Georgina is not bad though.

looki · 05/01/2014 13:39

Both are nice though my preference is definitely Matilda. It' sounds classier to me. I don't like the hard second g in the name Georgia and it reminds me of the coffee machine Gaggia?

AGoodPirate · 05/01/2014 12:39

I can't decide. DD says Matilda.

Wishfulmakeupping · 05/01/2014 12:15

Whereabouts are you sarah just checking its not near me I take it they are 'older' Georgia's

Viviennemary · 05/01/2014 12:12

Personally I'm not keen on it. But in the end it's up to you. You're hardly going to find a name that everyone likes.
