None are my taste. Matilda at a push. I prefer Cara.

None are my taste. I don't like Clara at all - Claire is much nicer, Lara and Cara are both nice.
Eliza is nice enough but I prefer Elizabeth.
Matilda has become too popular IMO and I'm not keen on Tilda or Tilly.

Matilda

deptfordgirl · 15/12/2018 13:50

ZebraKid71 · 15/12/2018 13:54

Clara.
I know a very annoying Eliza so that puts me off and matilda is way too popular.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/12/2018 14:22

Eliza.

Other ideas.
Lucia. Alicia. Anya. Lola. Elisa. Laila
Elena. Aurora. Anna. Lilia Rosa. Freya. Olivia. .Lydia.Sofia.

ReginaPhalange89 · 15/12/2018 14:59

I like Eliza . Matilda is ok but a bit popular these days.

Don't like Clara at all. I like Cara or Lara but not keen on Clare or Clara... Not sure why !

Peachbubble · 15/12/2018 15:48

In order:

Clara
Matilda
Eliza

Shadow1234 · 15/12/2018 17:39

Clara followed by Matilda. Not too keen on Eliza.

daisypond · 15/12/2018 17:44

Clara is nice, but is too "teenage" Victorian/Edwardian to me - I just think the posh one in the Nutcracker and the posh one in Heidi.
Eliza is also nice - but it feels like a short form of Elizabeth, which I prefer.
Matilda I've been coming round to recently, but I've never been keen on it previously. It's been helped along for a few years because of the musical - and that might put me off. But I do like its Anglo-Saxon/German roots.
I'd probably pick Eliza.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 15/12/2018 19:12

All lovely. Probably pick Matilda at a pinch.

Pemba · 15/12/2018 19:24

Clara if you are going to pronounce it like clare-uh the English way, not the now ubiquitous clah-ra pronunciation.

Otherwise Eliza.

But they are both nicer than Matilda, which is OK.

CloserIAm2Fine · 15/12/2018 19:49

Matilda

alsoliviax · 15/12/2018 19:50

Clara!

Kylieemilyj · 15/12/2018 20:29

I love Matilda and Eliza.. not keen on Clara personally.

Sophronia · 15/12/2018 21:07

Eliza

Clara

FairyFantastic · 15/12/2018 23:21

Eliza - Love it
Clara - I have a love/hate relationship with this name but overall love it.
Matilda - soooo many Matilda's I know. But then again if popularity isn't an issue then it's ok. It's one of those names I find hard to picture on an adult, but think that's just because I only know children called Matilda right now.
