How many children do you know with these girls names?

[mannicmummyhavinaiccy]

DD2 is a few days old, and people are constantly asking for a name, as it took me almost 6 weeks to name ds. Had a name chosen, but not sure it suits her now, was going with Elizabeth nn Betsy.
Everyone thinks im being silly saying she'll grow into her name, but changed dd1 name by deed poll as her name never fitted.
She looks like a Matilda to me, but am worried how popular it is, esp in trendy areas of london.
How popular are these names? and which do you prefer? Want her named by saturday so I can stop avoiding the phone, lol
Mylist is -
Betsy
Matilda
Martha
Jemima
Kitty (not cathrine!)

Betsy - 0
Matilda - 0 in real life, but some on MN
Martha - 1 but she is 16
Jemima - 0
Kitty (not cathrine!) - 0 children but 1 30yr old and 1 70 yr old

All nice names IMO

None of either!

I am suprised really as I work in an infant school with about 135 girls and DD's school has about 90 girls too!

I don't know any children with any of those names

I do not live in a trendy area of London though

Betsy -0
Matilda 1
Martha 1
Jemima 1
Kitty (not catherine!) 0

Betsy 1
Matilda 1 (Tilly)
Martha 1
Jemima 0
Kitty 0

Unless people you actually know also have the name - who cares. You are always going to find people who share your name.
My vote is for Matilda/Tilly :)

none of any! i live in plymouth.

i like jemima best but betsy is also nice but the fact that denise van outen named her kid that puts me off but thats my taste - dont let it put you off

None

2 x Martha - aged 4 and 12

1 x Kitty - aged 21

Hope decision making is going well

i don't know anyone with those names, so well done!!

I like Betsy, yet if you really feel she looks like a Matilda, then go for it, Tilly is lovely!!

No children with those names, but I know a cat called Matilda. They're all very nice names. Prefer the others to Betsy though.

I know one Matilda and one Kitty. I'm in Bedfordshire.

I love Elizabeth, as lots of lovely nick names too.

I would have had a Matilda though, if any of DSs had been girls.

Betsy 0
Matilda 3
Martha 0 (my top choice for a girl)
Jemima 1 (plus another in her 30s)
Kitty 1 age 1 plus a 70-something year old.

I know lots of Catherine's who USE Kitty.

No Betsy's (really like Elizabeth as a full name, lots of nn potential)

2 Marthas - 1 aged 3ish and the other an adult

1 Matilda/Tillie - under 5 but exactly how old I'm not sure. I also know one who's about 80 and called Mattie.

And bizarrely 3 Jemimas all under 5. I didn't have it in my head as a popular name but evidently it is!

Those are all over the UK though

I work in a small school so I'm going to include them too (85 kids):

Betsy - 0
Matilda - 1 adult
Martha - 1 adult
Jemima - 0
Kitty (not cathrine!) - 0

we don't have any of these up here
i really like Kitty though

Betsy 0
Matilda 0
Martha 0
Jemima 0
Kitty 0

Your shortlist is lovely, they are all really good names so you can't go wrong, whichever you pick.

I probably like Kitty the least just because it puts me in mind of cats and "Here, kitty kitty".

Jemima is so sweet - yes I think of Puddleduck but that is no bad thing!

Martha is a wonderful name, works so well on babies and adults alike. She could go anywhere with a name like that.

Matilda, I do know a couple, probably the most popular from your list. I don't like Mattie as a nn, only Tilly.

Betsy is very cute but I wonder if it's a bit fashionable? Think DVO.

My fave would be Martha.

Betsy - 0
Matilda - 1
Martha - 0
Jemima - 1
Kitty - 1
Elizabeth - 2

FWIW, Matilda I think of the Roald Dahl book, a great girl.
Martha I think of Lane Fox, a strong woman and entrepreneur
Jemima - I think of the doll on Play School and Puddleduck
Kitty - I think of Hello Kitty and cats
Elizabeth - I think of the Queen. One of my close friends has a 3yo Elizabeth she calls Liz. Love it, it so untrendy.
Betsy I agree is a bit now and also IMO a bit twee

Betsy 1
Martha 1
Jemima 1
Kitty 1

I know a Martha.
Sounds like a litter of kittens!!!

Betsy 1 (mine!)
Matilda 0
Martha o
Jemima 1
Kitty 0

and i met a Margo the other day - love it.

Of all the names on your list I only know one Matilda (Tilda by me/ Tilly from most others) and she is my 4 month old.

We live in the South West, we are moving to London soon so asked a friend about the popularity of the name and she knows 1 other Matilda who is about 4 or 5 years old.

I know one baby kitty, one Tilly, one milly. I don't know if these have been given the full name on birth certificate.

It's good to give your dd options with a long name that can be shortened. Elizabeth and mathilda certainly have a bunch of abbreviations.

I know 3 Marthas.
None of the others.
