A bit stuck on names… we have agreed so far that we like these three, but I’m not sure we love any of them.
What do you think?

She’s an adult, and was sick of Tilly so chose it herself

Alice is by far the nicest. I don't like Ivy.
Matilda is ok but I'm not keen on Tilly, Mattie or Tilda.

There are so many names you could choose from.
If you like Matilda you might like Tabitha, Jemima, etc
If you like Alice, you might like Emily, Emma, Annis etc
Ivy falls into the Evie/Ava/Eva/Isla names, which seem overused

Matty??? That awful for a girl. Tilda is better z

Marmite27 · 21/10/2023 08:36

It’s not necessarily Tilly for Matilda, I know a couple and one uses Matty and the other Tilda.

Matilda is a lovely name :)

I love the name Ivy! Not keen on the other two.

What about Iris or Saffron?

Ivy is not a plant I’d want to be named after. Matilda will be Tilly so bear than in mind.
Betsy?
Honor?
Clara?
Lana?
Odette?
Orla?

I knew a little Tilly. Her name was so sweet.
Alice is another sweet one.

Alice is the best of those three.

Umph · 21/10/2023 07:59

They’re all perfectly nice.

For names with a similar vibe, you could try:
Martha
Iris
Ada or Adeline
Florence or Flora
Elouise
Phoebe
Harriet
Fern
Willow
Pearl

Beautifulsunflowers · 21/10/2023 07:59

Matilda

have you considered Eliza?

Lunabetty · 21/10/2023 07:56

Love the name Matilda, not so keen on the others

DustyLee123 · 21/10/2023 07:53

I’m not a fan of Ivy.
As you seem to like nice girlie names, what about Emily and Emma.
