Opinions on the name Mattie for a girl

[expecting543]

Hi looking for opinions on the name Mattie for a girl, possibly Matilda on BC.

I think Mattie is a very cute shortening of Matilda.

Reminds me of Cranford!

I love it. My dd has a friend with that name and she's lovely so it has very good connotations for me!

Lovely as a NN

I love it!!

Very cute as a nickname. Matilda is one of my favourite names of all time.

I know a 7 year old Mattina who goes by Mattie sometimes

Love it

I love it.

Love, love, love. I really wanted to use Matilda with the nn of Mattie.

Love it as a short name of Matilda.

All the Matildas I know are shortened to Tilly.

Mattie is way cuter!

Yay! Thank you

I don't like it, it sounds too masculine, I prefer Tilda.

I don't like the sound of it - prefer Tilda

fab name. Fab

I really like it! Lovely name.

My nan was Martha, but known as Mat or Mattie

Love it (loathe Tilda).

It's actually an old-fashioned abbreviation. I think one of the girls in The Crown of Success by A.L.O.E. (A Lady Of England) was called Matty.

I absolutely love it. I don't think it needs a longer full name either.

Matilda is a great name - shortened to tilly or mally. I don't like mattie as it's a surname.

My daughter is a Matilda and I like the nn mattie. I also like (and use) Tilda. My dh uses Tilly Vanilli

DD2 best friend at pre-school is called Mattea or Mattie.. I love it

I love the name Matilda, I like Tilly and Tilda, as NNs.

I grew up in a disadvantaged part of Liverpool, with a lot of big, poor families. Everyone of them (I was an only child), seemed to have a very scruffy child called Mattie, short for Mathew. He always did have matty, tatty hair. Paddy always seemed to be further up the pecking order.

So it's got childhood connotations, for me.
