Matilda and Angus

Matilda doesn't have to be shortened to Tilly if you don't want it to be.

Angus is a great strong Scottish name.

This is a world first for me but I'd like to say that I really like them all Grin

Not helpful but I thought I'd share.

but might be too many f's if i go with faye! Yes faye and matilda are very different...i don't mind that faye sounds dated as i like vintagey dated things. The thing with faye is that i've had that name in mind since i was about 15 and wrote it down so i remembered to call my daughter it if i had one. I like the name matilda as i love the book and i think it has a quirky feel to it- but i agree there are a lot of matildas around at the moment. i'm thinking i should go with faye as i've had the name in mind for so long

interesting that it's got a 70's feel to it. i've never thought about it in terms of years

i don't think it's ever been popular (maybe there's a reason for that! haha)

Faye and Angus. I don't think Faye sounds dated at all.

Angus.

Don't like the other three.

marmitecheesetoast · 01/03/2017 14:43

Another vote for Faye and Angus here (Angus is currently on our boys shortlist - trying to convince DH!)

WankersHacksandThieves · 01/03/2017 16:07

OP. just noticed your user name contains "agnes". Hopefully that's not your actual name as I think that could be confusing if you go for Angus

Another vote for Faye and Agnus :-)

DanGleballs · 01/03/2017 21:56

Angus definitely. Matilda for a girl but shortened to Mattie not Tilly.

DramaAlpaca · 01/03/2017 21:57

Faye and Angus here too.
