Girls Name Shortlist Help Please

Hello Everyone,
I'm struggling to narrow down my shortlist of girls names.
My Son has a name in the Top 5. We didn't know this when we picked it, but surprisingly we've only met one other! So popularity isn't really a concern for us.

The names are:
• Isabel Matilda
• Juliet Matilda
• Poppy Matilda
• Sofia Matilda
Matilda is a definite for the middle name.
Which do you prefer and why?
If there is another first name that would sound better, please feel free to suggest.

Many Thanks.

I love all your options apart from Juliet as all the ones I know got inevitably shortened to Jules and I really hate that.

Lovely list otherwise though and I love Matilda too!

How about

Juliet is absolutely smashing.

Juliet Matilda is my favourite.

Juliet Matilda has the edge. Definitely.
I also really like the name Sofia but it's becoming a little meh to me.
Isabel is nice but it's too popular for my taste.
Poppy doesn't age well imo.

Prefer Juliet as it’s more unusual
The others are all very commonly used around here as is matilda
So if that’s an issue for you then use Juliet but I am guessing it isn’t from your list (which is obviously fine) so just go with what you most love not a load of randoms on the internet!

Isabel Matilda is my favourite. Sofia and Juliet are fine too, I don't like Poppy.

Other ideas?

I also liked Juliet. Not keen on Poppy.

Juliet is my favourite. Which I’m a bit surprised by!
