Our baby girl is due in June. We're stuck on names. Help! Which do you prefer?

Matilda flows from the tongue more easily.
Marissa would probably get confused with
Melissa

Definitely Matilda

Marissa, definitely. I've always liked it, plus I know 3, maybe 4 Matildas, but no-one called Marissa.

Ooh interesting. I thought this was gonna be a landslide for Marissa. Balls. DH will be so smug.

I do really like Matilda but just think it's getting very popular now. Decisions, decisions.

Marissa is lovely, and much less popular than Matilda, which I also like.

I used to know an Italian girl called Marisa, which she pronounced the same as Marissa. That's nice too, and a bit less frilly than Marissa.

You will be forever correcting Marissa from Melissa.

Matilda definitely! I think Marissa is a bit dated.
