Hi Dh & I can't pick a middle name for Matilda, from searching threads we have come up with 4 we quite like & would appreciate feedback on these or alternatives.

Matilda Florence(my fave)
Matilda Charlotte
Matilda Primrose
Matilda Emily(dh fave)

Thanks

Matilda Jane was my first thought. Also like Matilda Rose. Single syllable works well to me.

My sister is due her 8th DC in May and she is going to be a Matilda Primrose Grin

BrunoBrookesDinedAlone · 20/03/2014 23:08

Matilda Florence from your list, Matilda Blythe or Matilda Jane from mine.

photographerlady · 20/03/2014 17:26

Our dd is Matilda Sofia :)

Kaekae · 18/03/2014 23:33

Matilda Florence for me.

Ilikepancakes · 18/03/2014 20:55

I don't like Matilda Emily as both are long three-syllable names so it sounds to complicated. Matilda works better with a one or two syllable middle name. Your first three suggestions are all lovely, my favourite is Matilda Charlotte. I like Matilda Willow.

HuiledOlive · 17/03/2014 19:22

Matilda Violet? That's what my next dd will be called! DH - you listening?

guineapig2014 · 15/03/2014 21:45

What about these three?
Matilda Iris
Matilda Eve
Matilda grace

MaryWestmacott · 15/03/2014 09:13

I agree with you from your list!

Matilda Emily sounds like it needs another middle name, it doesn't sound complete IYSWIM - and if neither you or DH love the other two, don't bother with them.

However, do you have any granny or great granny names you could put in as a middle name? If you and DH can't find one you both love, perhaps a middle name with meaning would be better as then it's not about the name, but about honouring hte person. (Hope that makes sense!)

i like matilda primrose

Ali398 · 15/03/2014 08:39

Matilda Florence is beautiful, but we do have the same taste in names ;)

seasaltbaby · 14/03/2014 18:39

Matilda Joy?

alita7 · 14/03/2014 08:19

I like matilda Alice and matilda rose. Also matilda may, matilda jane, matilda Sophie, matilda cori, matilda eve, matilda Louise , matilda Emilia, matilda Kate or catherine and matilda Elsie.

SpanielFace · 14/03/2014 07:36

DS would have been Matilda Hope if he'd been a girl.

PunkAssMoFo · 14/03/2014 07:29

I know a couple of girls called Matilda Florence & it does seem to flow well.

If you want Rose, use it. Every third child has it as a mn so they hardly have dibs on it. I do think Florence is nicer though.

Gonna throw Roslyn/Roseline, Evelyn & Beatrice into the mix

WowserBowser · 13/03/2014 17:52

I like Matilda Florence but would you possibly be having another girl? Florence may be nice to hold back if so.

SaltyGoodness · 13/03/2014 17:47

yes, using Rose as a middle name does NOT count as stealing, who even uses the middle name in RL... I'm also not a fan of Primrose but Rose or any of the other 3 are nice

DrewsWife · 13/03/2014 14:10

Husband and I are trying to conceive and we chose Matilda Grace

Rtfairy · 13/03/2014 14:03

My DD was nearly Matilda Florence!

BumpAndGrind · 13/03/2014 13:51

I would just use Rose anyway.

I told MIL that she couldn't name the puppy Georgina because I was going to use it. I was pregnant at the time but never did use it.

Is the family member pregnant yet op? If not, fuck em.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 13/03/2014 13:13

Matilda Roseanne? Or Matilda Rosa?
Matilda Posy?

Love Alice so much but can't have Alice as our surname ends in A, so it would be too much with Matilda endind in an "a" also:(

Matilda Rose is gorgeous Baileys but we were already told by a family member in no uncertain terms that Rose is taken already hence how Primrose got thrown into the mix! I still love Matilda Florence, think Matilda is a strong name & Florence makes it's romantic & slightly boho!!!

My daughter is Matilda Rose Smile

She would have been Matilda Alice if not Rose.

I love the name Florence, it's so beautiful.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 13/03/2014 12:43

I like Matilda with Emily because they both have three syllables.

thegreatgatsby101 · 13/03/2014 05:42

I agree with Matilda Alice.
