Hi everyone!

First ever post so be kind. Due in 4 weeks and can't decide between Matilda (38mm Tilly) or Adeline (nn Ada) for our girl. What does everyone think? Thanks Smile

I really like both!

Although from threads on here, Matilda is very popular at the moment.

Adeline

That is what I was worried about wih Matilda; wasn't wanting anything too popular. Hmm

I love both equally! So hard.

Adeline definitely. Love it!

Bochdew · 23/12/2017 22:47

Adeline is beautiful, really unusual and pretty.

Ceebs85 · 23/12/2017 22:47

I prefer Adeline but prefer Tilly to Ada

Surely if you want her to be called Ada you just call her Ada?

CrossFreelancer · 23/12/2017 22:47

Both are on my very short list Smile
Bit worried Adaline is a too out there though. And Matilda is too popular

Just thinking of nicknames really. I like Addy too for a shorter version of Adeline
Not set on Ada.

If you like them both equally and are worried about popularity, definitely Adeline!

Ljpoz · 23/12/2017 22:50

I agree! Don't know of an Adeline but that is not always a bad thing Smile

Adeline is beautiful and unusual without being weird or try-hard 'out-there'.

JollyGiraffe · 23/12/2017 22:51

Definitely not a bad thing. I've never met one but know the name. I think it's lovely

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/12/2017 22:53

Love Adeline (Addie). Great name !

Ljpoz · 23/12/2017 22:55

Ah thanks everyone! You are all being really kind. Think I just needed reassurance that Adeline wasn't too unusual. Will always love Matilda but would like something just ever so slightly more unique!

DS2’s girlfriend is Adeline. She’s quite feisty and a bit bonkers in a nice way, we love her if that helps Grin.

Matilda

Juanbablo · 24/12/2017 09:01

I love Adeline but not Ada. I like Addie as a NN.

TatianaLarina · 24/12/2017 09:02

Matilda. Adeline is awful.

allegretto · 24/12/2017 09:04

Adeline is lovely. So is Matilda but there are a lot of them around.

allegretto · 24/12/2017 09:04

Also I love Ada.
