Which do you prefer, Matilda or Alice? Surname begins with an O' if that makes any difference.

Also wondering what nicknames you would use for both?

Matilda. Matilda Matilda Matilda.

Not Alice.

I have an Alice with an O surname, she is very beautiful, just like her name!

As for NNs we chose a name that couldn't really be shortened so that we didn't have an issue with it!

Matilda is lovely too, Tilly is a great shortened version.

Like Matila & Alice and would resist nicknames as long as possible as I definitely think the full name is best in both cases (although TBH can't think of any for Alice )

Matilda is lovely - tilly, tilda, mattie

alice - not sure about NN - v pretty name
