I like Matilda but concerned its very popular (although only one at dd1 and dd2's school).
The other dds have four letter names so Iris and Lara would follow that trend.
DH likes Anna best.

I love all of them.
I think Lara is my favourite.

CountingStars · 04/12/2013 14:10

I like Lara, Anna and Iris. Going to say I like Iris best.

I'm leaning towards Lara. I find Anna a bit too boring.

I can't bear Tilly but love Matilda. Is it realistic that she won't be called Tilly?

Larissa with Lara for short. Then Anna, or a variation like Anneliese.

smokeandglitter · 04/12/2013 14:55

I like Iris. Smile

NadiaWadia · 04/12/2013 15:41

Anna
Lara

Matilda
Iris

Rosencrantz · 04/12/2013 16:30

Iris,
Anna,
Lara,
Matilda

In that order!

Matilda just makes me thing of Dahl, so I don't like it. Miss Trunchbull gave me nightmares as a child!

Lottiedoubtie · 04/12/2013 16:31

Anna

Not dull, beautiful.

RubyGrace17 · 04/12/2013 17:41

Love Iris and Matilda (Matilda was on my list for DD4). I also really like Anna, one of DDs has the middle name Anna, after a relative. Not as keen on Lara.

RubyGrace17 · 04/12/2013 17:42

Oh, and there are no Matildas at my DDs/my school.

Lara is lovely. That's my fave.

I can't bear Matilda!

The others are fine.

DziezkoDisco · 04/12/2013 18:00

Anna lovely, quite lipke all the rest too.

looki · 04/12/2013 18:01

Anna or Iris. I like Matilda but can't bear Tilly.

BunnyLebowski · 04/12/2013 18:02

Lara is head and shoulders above the rest.

Matilda is unbearably twee and hugely popular right now.

Anna is a bit dull.

I'm personally not a fan of Iris but it's ok.

Lara is gorgeous.

Minty82 · 04/12/2013 18:09

Ha, I very unhelpfully feel exactly opposite to Bunny - I love Anna and Iris, think Matilda's ok, and don't like Lara at all!

This is why I mostly think people should never post on Baby Names! It's a completely subjective thing and everyone should just call their babies what they want without asking for outside opinion!

SparklyNewNameChange · 04/12/2013 18:17

Anna all the way, classy and classic. None of the others are either of those things.
