Matilda goes best with Jean, although Madeleine is my favourite name out of the three.

Bellaposey · 23/03/2019 21:29

Matilda Jean. Beautiful.

NuffSaidSam · 23/03/2019 20:02

Put them in a hat and pull one out? See how you feel about it?

I like them all, but...

Madeleine does still make me think of Madeline McCann.

Matilda is a tad blah and popular.

Connie would be my choice, I'm surprised by how many people hate it!

I love love LOVE Connie Jean, plus you can use 'CJ' as a NN which is really rather cool...

veeboo · 23/03/2019 19:58

Constance Jean. Shortened to Connie. It's perfect.

aliceelizaloves · 23/03/2019 19:57

Matilda

dontforgettofloss · 23/03/2019 19:56

Well they don't look like anything at first, but then again, I took a week to decide. I was adamant I was going to call my dd Courtney, my dp had chosen the name holly, and when she was born, she was just Holly, Courtney didn't suit her at all.

MeMeMeYou · 23/03/2019 19:56

Madeline is my fave mainly based as a teacher on the fact there are lots of tillys and connies about

sunflower332 · 23/03/2019 19:54

Ha ha, do babies really look like any name?!

GrumbleBumble · 23/03/2019 19:38

Wait until she's born and see what she looks like mine would be called Mr Magoo if we'd waited to see what he looked like!

Letthemysterybe · 23/03/2019 19:28

I think they are all lovely and you can’t go wrong with any of them!

dontforgettofloss · 23/03/2019 19:25

Wait until she's born and see what she looks like. One of those names will suit her.

Ikeameatballs · 23/03/2019 19:24

Matilda Jean, hands down winner imo

boomboom1234 · 23/03/2019 19:23

Matilda Jean

StripyDeckchair · 23/03/2019 19:22

Madeleine (please spell it this way)

Maddie Jean is great.

Winterfellismyhome · 23/03/2019 19:22

Matilda

Connie sounds like a cartoon cow to me Blush

RandomMess · 23/03/2019 19:17

Why don't you just go with Tilly Jean?

BlueMerchant · 23/03/2019 19:03

Probably Matilda but not because I really like it and more because I really do like Tilly.

Bellatrix14 · 23/03/2019 19:00

Ranking the names in order of how much I like them would be Madeline, Matilda and then Connie/Constance. I don’t mind Connie but really not a fan of Constance. To me it sounds very pious and Victorian.

However teamed with the middle name Jean I think Matilda Jean sounds nicer than Madeline Jean! Matilda Jean sounds like it should be a song title Grin

@Jessabean Oh’s fav is Connie, which is my least fav! My fav is Matilda & we’re equal on Madeline. He likes the nick names for Matilda but not the full name.. Confused thanks everyone! Matilda seems to be proving most popular... Constance is definitely a love/hate!

Constance or Matilda.

IVflytrap · 23/03/2019 18:13

Connie or Matilda.

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 23/03/2019 18:08

I vote for Madeline Jean. How lovely!!!

AdaColeman · 23/03/2019 17:40

Constance would be my first choice as it's so beautiful, though I'm not as keen on Connie, and I don't think Connie Jean is very pretty.
Matilda Jean would be my next choice.
