This is a name I have always liked and have only realised it's increasing popularity since using MN. We already refer to the bump as Tilly so will probably struggle to change it now but I always wanted a name that was bit different!

How many do you know?

All the names I like seem to be pretty popular so I obviously completely lack imagination. So also, how BAD is it to have a very popular name?

Sorry if this has been done before, it's been a long week so haven't spent time searching the archive.

I love it. 'Tus DD's middle name. Wish it wasn't so we could still use it for any future DDs.

Can be shortened to:

Tilly
Milly
Tilda
Maud (the traditional diminutive)

I taught a Matilda a while ago. She was known as Tilly.
I love it but Dh vetoed.
If you like it, go for it
