Tell me what you think of Mathilda

[Slippydippysoap]

Have DD already called Maddison Ane. I love Mathilda Rose for DD 2 but I fear everyone else in the world may hate it!

Unnecessary H as far as I'm concerned, but otherwise lovely.

Yes, drop the H.

I'd keep the H but expect mispellings. Mathilda is a very different style to Maddison though!

There was an empress Matilda, very strong female ruler in the middle ages, I love it.

I really like the strength of it I think. I suppose I need to have a think about the H though.

We know a Matilda. It's usually Mattie. Which is cute but you're going to have Mattie and Maddie which after a while is going to sound ridiculous. Sorry.

Matilda spelt wrong.

I love it - the 'h' makes it into the French version.

Sorry Ralph but I think you'll find Mathilda is the root. Matilda is spelt wrong.
We were going to shorten it to Tilly not Mattie I think

Oh well that's ok.

I find it quite annoying. I can't explain it. I hear it and feel irritated.

I love it, love it, love. But, ooh, it's getting well common..

My DD is Matilda Rose. Beautiful, we shorten it to Tilly. Apparently (evidently!) it is getting more popular but I don't care!

I love it even if it is becoming more popular. To me it suggests someone with real strength of personality, like the girl in the Roald Dahl book.

That's why we chose it

My niece is Matilda and some (mostly older) people have spelt it the traditional way with an h in cards etc, so I think either spelling will lead to a small number of queries, but that doesn't matter - it's a lovely name so choose whichever spelling you prefer.

I know loads of Matildas. At least one of which is Matilda Rose.

Quite a nice name but don't choose it if you want to be original!
