As pp said Matilda Jean has the best rhythm, but I prefer Madeline on its own. So that would be my choice, because normally you don't go around using them together. Definitely not Connie/Constance. I think whilst Jean is nice, mixed with Matilda or Connie/Constance is too old fashioned overall if that makes sense? So I'd go for Madeline ☺️

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 24/03/2019 08:57

I like Madeleine best of your three.

Bumblebeesmum · 24/03/2019 15:57

I love Matilda & Connie but not sure I’d want a nickname as a fullname myself (though I realise it’s very normal to do now).

So as is I think I’d vote Matilda....

There are other names than Constance:

Cadence
Cassandra
Corinne

But given Jean is the middle name I think Cora Jean nn Connie would be lovely

Not at all what you asked for Grin

Bumblebeesmum · 24/03/2019 19:43

I agree that Connie Jean sounds like a country singer - I’m not sure why it doesn’t have that affect on your other two names

Miranda is another lovely one that’s a lot less popular

Icklepup · 25/03/2019 07:37

Matilda Jean

Barrenfieldoffucks · 25/03/2019 12:32

I prefer Madeline as a name, but with Jean as the middle name Matilda flows better.

Pemba · 25/03/2019 12:35

Madeline Jean - lovely.

Matilda - meh.
Connie - meh.

sighrollseyes · 25/03/2019 12:36

Just make sure you like Maddy and Tilly as they will inevitably get shortened by friends etc

ThisThatAndTother · 25/03/2019 12:39

My nans dog was called Connie! My choice is Matilda.

MikeUniformMike · 25/03/2019 17:21

Connie. Matilda's overused and Madeline will be Maddy.

mrsgumpy · 26/03/2019 07:04

Matilda.

There, it is sorted.

Whereareyouspot · 26/03/2019 07:08

Constance is a beautiful name

Not bothered about the others and they are super popular round here

Constance Jean sounds like a film star or a president!

I know a Constance (older lady) with nn’s of Anne and Nancy!

Amimissingsomethinghere · 26/03/2019 07:58

Matilda!!!

spaniorita · 26/03/2019 08:04

You can't call her Tilly Jean.

🎤Tilly Jean is not my lover, she just some girl that says I am the one, but the kid is not my son....🎼

JustAnotherMillennial · 26/03/2019 08:18

I love Matilda (vetoed by DH) but he allowed me to call our cat Tilly Grin

Madeline is lovely too.

Really dislike Connie, and Constance is even worse.

pineapplebryanbrown · 26/03/2019 08:50

I love Constance and Madeleine but Matilda makes me grimace for some peculiar reason. It would be so cool to be a serious professional woman called Constance.

ilovecheese1 · 26/03/2019 12:15

Ok guys thanks so much for your input, you’ve really helped! Thoughts so far -
Constance - we think is very cool if she is a proffesional when older & Connie is very cute whilst younger BUT our thinking is this name own works with a very specific type of person (who she might not be!)
Matilda - Part of me loves it, how ever heard it at soft play the other day & like other posters have said it did sound a bit ‘meh’ plus DP really doesn’t like the full name but doesn’t mind Tilly, not a good enough reason to name her it I think.
Madeline - it’s our front runner, as much as I know Maddie is popular which isn’t ideal I just can’t help but love Madeline, it’s classy & sweet at the same time to me. McCann connection isn’t an issue for us.

So, in short... with 9 weeks left. Madeline is looking like the front runner!

I like all of them but have always liked Matilda with Tilda as a shortening.

Just don't shorten it to "Titty" like an acquaintance of mine!!

ilovecheese1 · 26/03/2019 13:08

@DontCallMeCharlotte titty!! Fgs 😂
