Which would you pick out of my final two girls names and why?

They are: Matilda and Georgia.

Matilda being the name I've had since before my first baby, but had a boy. Georgia I've recently fallen in love with. Can't decide.

Thanks!

Both lovely but I'd say Matilda, just!

aliceandkids77 · 15/02/2019 10:06

adore both! however I prefer Georgia bcause I'm in love with nn Gia. Like Matilda too though, especially if shortened to Tilly. good choices hun ! x

Matilda is infantile and Tilly as a nn is dreadful.
Agee Georgia is dated but would prefer this. As pp I also actually prefer Georgina, much classier.

Georgia or Georgina. Matilda is one of those names that used to be quirky but is now overused.

I don't know if Matilda is really timeless. ' Obviously it was around a lot in the middle ages (still my main association for the name) and then again a bit in the Victorian era. Now it is having a bit of a moment again. Actual 'timeless' names are quite rare and can't be pinpointed to a specific era, Anna would be an example.

I don't think there is anything amazing about the sound of Matilda though, well it's OK.

I prefer the sound of Georgia, even though it is 'dated' to the 1990s. But I do like Georgina more.

Matilda by a mile. Classic, elegant & timeless.

Georgia is dated and I'm sorry to say I don't think it's very classy. Georgina is much nicer, but that wasn't what you asked.

Both beautiful names. Would have been on my list if close friends hadn’t used them already.

Do you have a middle name in mind? If you’re going with a family name, which of the two go best.

Xx

Matilda. Georgia is dated.

WillowG · 12/02/2019 17:29

Matilda. I like Tilly as well.

SilverySurfer · 12/02/2019 16:38

Definitely Georgia - a lovely name.

ShadyLady53 · 12/02/2019 00:14

Georgia.

JaneJeffer · 12/02/2019 00:10

Georgia

Sophronia · 12/02/2019 00:02

Matilda. Georgia is dated.

Didyeeaye · 11/02/2019 19:41

Georgia. Its less common than Matilda plus Georgie is a much better nickname than Tilly imo

CloserIAm2Fine · 11/02/2019 19:41

They’re both gorgeous but I think Georgia but probably because I like George as a nickname

Nonameyet1 · 11/02/2019 19:40

I really like both too. Which one goes better with your surname, middle name and sibling?

NameChangeNugget · 11/02/2019 19:39

Both nice however, prefer Matilda

BlueMerchant · 11/02/2019 19:38

Georgia is my favorite of the two.Matilda is a nice name but prefer 'Tilly' to the full Matilda.Matilda is also getting very popular.

AugustRose · 11/02/2019 19:30

Matilda by a mile

17caterpillars1mouse · 11/02/2019 19:28

Georgia

I do like Matilda but I'm not keen on Fully and every other girl seems to be named Matilda in my area. I only know one Georgia and she is 15

GlitterPixie · 11/02/2019 19:26

Georgia but my cat is Matilda

daisypond · 11/02/2019 19:22

Matilda is a little faddy, perhaps, but Georgia is very dated (20 years) and now downmarket.

StellaMorris · 11/02/2019 19:20

Matilda nn Matty
(I met twin girls on a plane once Matty and Maddie, I loved this - Matilda and Madeline)

I don’t like any feminine versions of George, but I don’t like George much either.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/02/2019 19:20

Georgia

BiggFactHunt · 11/02/2019 19:19

Matilda, Matty for short.
