Matilda, Elsie and Connie

[mumofboys7]

Last post I promise! Which do you prefer and why? Matilda, Elsie or Connie?

Any first and middle name combinations you think would sound nice from these names? Think I'd like Matilda to be in there somewhere.

Big brother Noah.

Thank you!

I like Elsie too but don’t like Constance - it sounds like constipation to me 🤣

Matilda has been popular for about fifteen years now so there are an awful lot of them around. Elsie and Connie are more unusual. I suspect Connie is due a revival as a nickname for Constance.

I'm not over keen on Elsie though it's nice for a little girl I think. I'm really not a fan of Connie at all!

Matilda is a nice name with good nickname choices but there are an awful lot of them about. My dc know many of varying ages through school and dance classes etc.

I love Connie and wanted it if my second was a girl however, I was told it's slang for condom and it ruined it for me

I love Matilda but i think it’s the most popular.

Matilda Mary
Matilda Jean
Matilda Katherine
Matilda Frances
Matilda Susan
Matilda Poppy
Matilda Robyn

In 2018:
Matilda-31st (0.25%)
Elsie-22nd (0.28%)

So Elsie is more popular very slightly but both not overly popular at all.

I much prefer Matilda.

Yes, but Matilda has been popular for more than ten years whereas Elsie hasn't. There are way more Matildas around. I can't see Elsie lasting as long as Matilda as a trend, tbh.

But still not very popular per 100 born.

We have a Matilda (5 months), none in any of the baby groups I go to. We also call her Matti.
