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
Martha 0
Jemima 1
Kitty 1

My order of preference would be

Kitty
Martha
Betsy
Matilda
Jemima

We're in East Berkshire, congratulations!

i only know one martha

I know an Elizabeth and a Martha. Martha and Matilda were both on our shortlist, but after deciding on a -a middle name they didn't make the re-draft (of the final draft!) all gorgeous names IMO.

I know two or more each of Matilda, Martha and Kitty. No Jemimas or Kittys though.

out of the ones you mention I only know a Matilda (known as Tilly) and Kitty and they're sisters!

None (of any name).

I like Matilda the best.

I know 1 Betsy, 2 Marthas and one Kitty (she is Kitty-Boo though)
No Matildas or Jemimas

I like Martha the best closely followed by Betsy as a short version of Elizabeth/Elisabeth. Matilda I like Mattie but not the full name for some reason, Jemima not a fave

I live in Wales. I know a 4 year old Martha and a 3 year old Betsy, but no children called Matilda, Jemima or Kitty.

And before anyone comments, my MN name comes from a fictional character

I know 1 Kitty.

I always wanted Jemima as a name but I wasn't allowed to name DD2 (that weas Daddy's choice by law apparently...)

Betsy - 1 @4 months
Matilda too many to list.
Martha - 1, 4 yo
Jemima - none
Kitty - 2,4 & 2

I love the name Martha, and I love Elizabeth too. Lots of permutations for Elizabeth so if one doesn't suit you can switch it.

They're quite rare in secondary schools - 1 Martha, 1 Matilda and I know of a 6yo Jemima.

One Matilda, spelt Mathilde, Norwegian decent parents.
None for the others.
I know a Kitty though, but it is a cat.

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

Love Martha and Matilda.

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

maryz - dd is 12, so you may be right!

Jemima -- stillborn child was named that.
I don't know a single child with any of the other names.

Betsy 0
Matilda 6
Martha 3
Jemima 1
Kitty 2

Loads of Matildas here.

ragged that's not a very helpful contribution, think you should have kept that private.

Betsy 1
Matilda 1
Martha 0
Jemima 1
Kitty 1

(am in SE London)

I think I'd choose Martha from your list perhaps. I don't dislike any of them though.

I have a Bella nn Betsy. Love the anme, although Betsy really isn't that popular, it seems.

I really like Kitty (love Catherine, too, though!) and Matilda.

Martha is Ok, but a bit wet, imo.

Hate Jemima. A doll's name.

Betsy 0
Matilda 1 (mine, spelt Mathilda)
Martha 1
Jemima 0
Kitty 0

All lovely, Martha was on my shortlist but DH not keen!

Betsy - 0 (except knowledge of Denise Van O's one!) I like the name Betty too!
Matilda - 2 and 1 Tilly
Martha - 4+
Jemima - 1
Kitty - 0

I like Martha best from your list, by quite some way - or Betsy if you're 'trying' to be different

Betsy - 0
Matilda - at least 4 (popular round here!)
Martha - 1

Jemima - 2
Kitty (not cathrine!) - 0

I live in the North East.
