Middle Name for Matilda

[mummyofboys30]

So I've finally stopped looking at other first names and stuck with Matilda - my forever love.
I don't like using family names as middle names. I like my children to have their own name and identity rather than honouring a family member. Just personal choice.
Im struggling with a middle name. Initially I like Rose but heard so many Rose/May/Grace middle names its put me off.
Another name I absolutely loved when I had my first along with Matilda was Harper. Not sure I'd ever brave using as a first name.
But how does Matilda Harper sound? Thanks.

Ok, since you so politely asked, I don't like the name Harper full stop. It's not unusual, there's a Beckham with that name and lots of followers...

If you like Harper then go for it! Personally I don't think it goes with Matilda at all 🤷‍♀️ as imo it needs a classic name. Harriet, Beatrice, Florence.

Ok then - I really don't think Matilda + Harper flow or sound good together.

So to answer your specific question.. I don't like Matilda Harper at all.

it's the 'a Ha' bit in the middle. Harper is a surname so it will look like she has your maiden name as a middle name, and people will hyphenate it to go with your surname.
OP, your baby but you asked our opinion.

I don't think it works. If both names are going to be in a different style, I think a middle name should either be something very classic (if you've got a more unusual first name) or something a bit more unusual (if you've got a traditional first name). Harper doesn't fit either of those - it's a very celeb name that will date.

I have a Matilda Charlotte and love it.

Sorry just seen you don't want suggestions

I think Harper is a bit faddy to go with Matilda, but if you love it go for it.

I also think you could be a little politer.

I don't like Harper with Matilda. Matilda is lovely though.

I really don't like virtue names as they bestow a quality to that person they may not be. Had two pop into my head today......

Matilda Violet or
Matilda Seren

Do you like either of these?

Matilda Alice

Sorry just read full thread!!
Matilda Seren sounds better than Matilda Violet I think.

Two syllables after a three syllable first name sounds better I think.

I like Matilda Violet

Love Matilda Violet

Matilda Faye?

I love the name Seren as it's the welsh name word for star.

I suppose you'd have to know if it goes with the tv surname

Prefer Matilda Violet

What about Matilda Zoe?

I have a Matilda Rose and absolutely love it. I’m sure there’s a few out there but I’m yet to meet one. I really like Matilda Joy having read it on here.
