How many do you know?

Weve decided on Joseph for a boy and Matilda for a girl. Im aware Joseph is popular but I dont know any.
Our daughters are Isabelle and Eliza.
Eliza was chose by my nan who was dying and it has suddenly become so popular!
Is Matilda becoming popular too? X

I think it's been quite popular for a while... I know 4, ranging from 6 to a couple of months old.

I know 1 Joseph who is 11 and no Matildas. My grandpa was Joseph.

I know 4 josephs, aged from 1-8

I know 2 matildas, both born in the last 6months.

I know a few Josephs;
A 16yr old, an 18yr old, a 25yr old and a 2yr old.

I only know one Matilda and she's 20.

I only know 2 Josephs. One is my nephew who is 8 and there is a Joseph (Joe) in my son's class, also 8.

I know one Matilda who is 6 today!

I don't know any children of either. I know lots of Josephs but they are adults

Our imminent DC will be Joseph if a boy, don't know any other than one adult one, although that doesn't mean much as only know about 5 babies. He will be known by a shortening though (not Joe)

I know quite a lot of Josephs, from babies to adults. I don't know any Matildas.

I know two Matilda's, 4 and 2. I don't know any young Joseph's

Two Joesph's and one Matilda. Matilda went by Matty though. Her name was Matilda Maffy Natalia

Yes our will be Joey not Joe as I dislike Joe x

I know a 5 year old Joseph and a 1 year old Matilda.

My teenagers have lots of friends called Joseph and Matilda. Not sure about under 13's.

If you dislike Joe though, I wouldn't use Joseph.

I meant Matildas in my post by the way. Don't know any Joseph's but know 4 young Matilda's.

I have a 6 year old Joseph. He is the only one in his class and the only one I have come across over the last 6 years. Most people call him by his full name, very rarely is he called Joe. I think its popular but not too common at the moment due to the resurgence of names like Archie and Alfie. I know loads of those!

It's a good, strong name, and it will never go out of fashion, so I say go for it!

I know several Josephs - all Joe except one. They are all under 11. I know two Matildas who are both teenagers.

I know lots of Matilda's between the age of 2-11, I also know lots of Joseph's but they are aged 8+

I know several Matildas, mostly known as Tillie. Admittedly I'm in Australia, but it's certainly very popular here.

I also know about 4 Joseph/Joes under 10 but half of them are from the UK.

I know 2 Josephs in their 20s and a 6 year old

don't know any Matildas but I know a 1 year old Tilly.

Lovely choices btw

Sorry - Matildas I know are all under 10.

I know two Josephs (one known as Joe), both 8, and a one-year-old Matilda.

Actually totally forgot know 2 Matilda's and lots of Tilly's I suspect shortened version but don't joke for certain

Joseph is quite an ageless name, found in every generation. He will almost certainly be called Joe whether you like it or not, though. Joey is all right for a child, but not an adult. I have a cousin whom we all called Joey when we were kids, but he insisted on Joe from his teen years onwards.

I know of two young Matildas, and a Tilly who may be a Matilda in disguise.

Yay, I agree that Joseph is ageless and strong :) DH chose it, it's a bit plain for me, but i like that it is not whacky and not super common. I also don't mind Joe or Joey.
Good choice OP :)
