I think I'm leaning slightly more towards Matilda. Which do you prefer?

Matilda, definitely. Heidi is a nickname for Adelaide and seems a bit unfinished on an adult to me. I don’t think it goes as well with Rose either.

Surname begins with M so would be MRM or HRM.

I'm not overly keen on Tilly which is what's making me think twice about the name Matilda.

Much prefer Matilda - it just sounds more classic/stronger to me than Heidi. I also think if you or she decide you aren't as fond of the name later, Matilda gives you lots of nickname choices/options.

I prefer Matilda to Heidi as a first name. Mattie is a cool nickname for Matilda, in case Tilly seems a bit childish when she’s older.

Heidi Rose doesn't go

Matilda Rose, I'm partial to Tilly as a nickname.

Both are lovely💕 (no help!) 😂😂 do the initials (with you surname) spell anything odd? MR HR ?! HRT?!

Heidi Rose. Definitely.

Matilda Rose but this makes me think of Heath Ledgers child. Not sure if the name is correct but it rings a bell
