I have a Matilda. It is not a common name locally and nobody seems to want to call her by her name Sad

BewareOfDragons · 25/09/2017 23:15

Evangeline.

Matilda is still rather popular; we have loads of Mattys and Matties everywhere around here...

Love Evangeline.

Really dislike Matilda, which also seems so overused at the moment

Evangeline. Lovely name.

I first heard the name on House of Elliot (Evie).

Evangeline. Pretty and a bit more different than Matilda (I'm not keen on Tilly, either – just don't like the sound of it).

The only thing with Evangeline is that even if you call her by her full name it would probably get shortened very quickly to Evie or Eva at school – have you got a favourite in mind?

I love Evangeline. I don't understand how it sounds in anyway like vagina. Confused

I've loved it since watching Lost. The woman who plays Kate is called Evangeline Lily.

I also love Matilda too.

INVENTED not invited Hmm

I have an Evangeline and can promise you there are no religious connotations. It was invited to be the name of the heroine in an epic love poem Grin

Hard to choose as both very nice and depends on surname. If you have a short surname I would go with Evangeline.

Allthecake · 22/09/2017 21:24

Both lovely. Which do you prefer out of Eva or Tilly?

ScarletSienna · 22/09/2017 21:22

Love both! Matilda Evangeline sounds good to me Grin

bridgetreilly · 22/09/2017 21:21

I like both but would probably pick Evangeline slightly over Matilda.

ScarletForYa · 22/09/2017 21:10

Evangeline.

NinonDeLenclos · 22/09/2017 21:01

Evangeline smacks of vagina to me.

NoNamesLeft86 · 22/09/2017 21:00

Matilda

Argeles · 22/09/2017 20:58

Evangeline is beautiful.

TheVoiceOfTreason · 22/09/2017 20:57

Both gorgeous! Not being super helpful here am I? Probably Matilda slightly more, but love both....

ohhelpohnoitsa · 22/09/2017 20:56
