Matilda, though Phoebe is also nice.

Matilda

I think Phoebe is much prettier

I know a phoebe and Eliza sisters - very cute together.

phoebe has grown on me in recent years. I do quite like Matilda though. I also like the nn with it. although I think phoebs is endearing as well

reuset · 29/07/2015 23:31

Mathilde for me, no contest. Phoebe is a good name also

reuset · 29/07/2015 23:32

Matilda!

Phoebe

NadiaWadia · 30/07/2015 00:36

Phoebe. Matilda is OK, but a bit overdone at the moment.

roseteapot101 · 30/07/2015 00:39

i like phoebe

SycamoreMum · 30/07/2015 00:43

Pheebs

sweetpeame · 30/07/2015 08:01

Matilda. Don't like Phoebe at all and getting completely bored of it popping up all over the place!

LeonoraFlorence · 30/07/2015 08:42

Matilda :)

janetandroysdaughter · 30/07/2015 08:45

Much prefer Matilda. It's a strong, classic name with lots of options for nicknames.
Phoebe has a whiney sound to it.

RiverTam · 30/07/2015 08:47

Neither. Matilda is nice it I hate all the nns for it. And Phoebe is awful. Sorry!

susurration · 30/07/2015 16:49

Matilda. I love it and would shorten to Mattie.

Jojay · 30/07/2015 20:29

Phoebe is great.

Not so keen on Matilda as it's a mouthful as a full name, but Tilly and Mattie aren't my bag.
