Right, I'm due what we think is a girl in 2 weeks. Have narrowed choices to:
Rosalind
Matilda
We have a surname that begins with m and I love the alliteration of Matilda with it. I actually I refer Matilda overall. However - i cannot actually imagine calling a child Matilda all the time and dislike the names Tilly and Tilda. So I'm not sure we can use it. I do like maud from it like the queen. Husband not so much.
Rosalind we'd shorten to Rosie I think. Love Rosie and love the character rosalind from Shakespeare.
I prefer the name Matilda basically but none of the nicknames from it. I know you can't choose your chns nicknames but from the beginning we will inevitably use a diminutive of either name and want her to have a more grown up name for the future.
Which would you go with?!
