Hatrick I really like your kids name BTW - paints a pic of a contented little family for some reason, all running around the daisies in summer frocks.

How about Joanne or Joanna or Josephine. That seems to be unused these days?

I have a Matilda but would have to be Matilde in France I think. They would struggle with Tilly which we use for short though.
