Any suggestions for a middle name for Matilda. Surname is Shumaker so was looking for something short and soft.

Matilda Rose?
Matilda Molly?
Matilida Alice?

My GGM was a Matilda Rose, so I do rather like that combination.

You might not like, but Matilda May might work.

Matilda jean shumaker

Definately a one syllable name anyway.

Btw Matilda is a great name

Matilda Leigh

Sorry if I offend anyone (or possibly half of mumsnet!) but unless you've got a particular like for the names, might be an idea to avoid May, Rose or Grace as they've just been so overused.

Matilda is a lovely name byw :)

How about Matilda Eliza Shumaker?

Nice to have a middle name which means something IMO.

Who are your favourite authors / artists / musicians? How about a family name? Or a name which honours your heritage?

When's she being born (perhaps a name inspired by the season?)

Jane?

agree with the one syllable thinking.

I would try and pick something that has meaning to you as all these jane/ann/louise/rose/may/grace are generally overused and a bit bland.
