But this is DH's shortlist... any thoughts?

My DD is Matilda (But we call her Tilly.)

Harry
Samuel
Wilbur
Felix
Jasper
Flynn
Chester
Rafferty
Edward (nn Teddy)
Wilson
Rupert
Theo
Henry

Or any suggestions in the same vein? I'm trying to think of what we call a second tier name.. nothing too normal, but not too out there iyswim. When I thought of Matilda for my DD I LOVED it, and I felt really excited. No boys names do that for me!! Help please....

From your list I think Matilda works with

Chester
Edward (nn Teddy)
Rupert
Theo (as a nn for Theodore)

Also, how about Caspar, Alfred, Hugo, Clement, Arthur, Conrad, Francis, Edmund, Leo, George, Bertram?
