Matilda Daisy Lily
Or
Matilda Lily Daisy

Surname is very common begins with S and 1 syllable :)

Hmm to be honest I don't think either flows particularly well. Two middle names ending in the same sound doesn't sound right to me.

Something like Matilda Daisy Grace would sound better (not the name Grace, just the sound iyswim).

I agree with the two y not flowing. But of the two Daisy Lily.

I don't think flow is important.

How many times will you be saying her full name? Confused

Also, a coomon shortening for Matilda is Tilly.

She might end up as:

Tilly Lily Daisy

I have to agree with Satan. Never thought I'd ever find myself saying that, mindGrin.
I don't think any combination goes. I wouldn't put Lily and Daisy as a combination as they both end in the same sound.

I'll join Club Satan on this one - Lily and Daisy are both lovely names but it's too much of the -ee sound going on there I think.

Do you have any particular connection to either? As Daisy is a nickname for Margaret you could swap it out for that possibly and still have the connection?

To be honest it's a bit of a mouthful. And two flower names as middle names is a bit much IMO. But to be honest the flow of it is irrelevant as she will never be known by all three names... If you must, Matilda Lily Daisy seems marginally better.

It has to be those 2 middle names. I'm aware none flow well but out of the two we need too pick one x
