Nola vs Matilda?

Nola - not popularly used at all...sounds nice said out loud. What do you think!?

Matilda - OH really loves, but I don't like 'Tilly' or 'Matty' as nicknames.

Which would you go for? Due tomorrow!

Whereas, in Australia, Matilda would be ... waltzing ...?

Noa is pretty

Love Matilda, always have. Nola's pretty too, and it's nice to have something unusual.

Nola reminds me of Enola. Which would be fine apart from the Enola Gay association.

Nola is the nickname for New Orleans (New Orleans, LouisianA) and it is also a city in Italy.

What will Nola get shortened to? Noles? Nolly?

Matilda will always remind me of the Roald Dahl book, which would be a plus for me. On balance I'd go for that.

in the end we went for both. She is called Nola Matilda..........they don't go so well together but we wanted both!

Love Nina as mentioned above - pretty name and not too popular.

Out of your 2 though like Nola best (although prefer Nuala).
