5 weeks old; 5 names...

[Octopus2016]

Help!

• Gabriella
• Grace
• Madeleine
• Matilda
• Violet

Really struggling...

I have a 3 week old baby girl twin Madeleine

My favourite is Madeleine.

Matilda Kate

She's gorgeous

Thanks all, it's so tough. I love them all

Matilda Kate seems like it might be the one...

Violet definitely.

She gorgeous and I agree she totally suits Matilda

I like Matilda Kate :)

Love Violet (my niece's name) but I think she looks like a Matilda!

Ds aged 5 likes Matilda! He says to call her Tillie. I think Kate is an excellent middle name too! (It's my name! )
Congratulations on your gorgeous dd, OP.

I was going to say Violet but then I saw the photo and thought Matilda, definitely Matilda. She is gorgeous OP

If we go with Matilda - what's more likely to happen: Matty(ie) or Tilly(ie)? I think I prefer Tilly(ie) but don't mind Matty(ie) just wondering

Thanks all!

Also, do you prefer Matilda Kate or Matilda Grace? Kate is less popular, but also sad about letting go of the other names and Grace sounds the nicest with Matilda.

Matilda Grace

Grace. Lovely . Easy to spell. Can't be mispronouced. Lovely for a baby, teenager, adult.

Defo Violet.

I love mattie but you may find a nickname justs grows with her. Tillie is cute. So is Tilda.

The nn you use is likely to be the one that sticks, well, until school age anyway. After that it's a free for all, I'm afraid. DD will have her own opinion too. That said, free forming nn's are more likely if you only ever use the full name than if there;s an established nn. No way of knowing exactly which form she'll choose in the end though!

Tilda is my favourite I think, or Tilly.

I like Matilda Kate, it's a good name.

I love Gabriella Kate. Ella is a lovely nn xx

Yeah, I don't really mind. I prefer the full name though

Matilda Kate is lovely.

Madeleine. Definitely. It is so beautiful and so classic. Would have used it for my daughter but my cousin beat me to it. It was my grandmother's name and she was an absolutely lovely woman.

OMG, what a beautiful baby!

I'm echoing Matilda Kate.

Matilda Kate

She's gorgeous 😍

Definitely a beautiful Matilda (Tilly) Kate
