Matilda. It’s one of my favourites and I wish I could use it for this baby (if a girl) but sadly the short version (Tilly) sounds silly with our surname! The other two are ok, but I much prefer Matilda.

Matilda

I like Madeline best.
Matilda is too popular and Primrose is too twee - also very hard to carry off if she is not very “stereotypically girly”.

Primrose

Because Matilda and Madeline are overused and a little dull.

Matilda 💕 one of my favourites but DH hates it xx

I think they are all likely to end up shortened.
Maddy
Matty / Tilda
Rose / Rosie.

So from there I think a prefer Matilda or Primrose. Not a big fan of Madeline.

Matilda is really different. I'm liking it.

I prefer Madeline.

MoonBat · 26/03/2022 08:21

I like Primrose but wouldn't like any shortening of it, it would bother me!

Madeline is lovely, and I don't mind Maddie.

Matilda is probably my favourite but also probably the most popular, so it depends how much that concerns you!

Primrose. It’s a family name and we’ve always had lovely comments.
