Alice or Matilda?

[emmie841]

Which do you prefer?

Alice .
My DD has the middle name 'Alys' its the Welsh spelling (Pronounced same tjough)
I love the name

Alice

It's a classic

These were the two my mum was caught between with my sister! She decided on Matilda, with every intention of shortening to Tilly, but my sister turned out to be a bit strong and rambunctious for Tilly and ended up being Mattie instead. It couldn’t have suited her more ❤️

Matilda. It's got more balls.

Alice. Matilda is nice but overuse has taken the edge off it.

Alice for the same reasons as everyone else.

Alice for Wonderland.

2 of my favourites!

Matilda. I don’t like Alice. The Matilda I know is called Tilda which is nice.

Matilda hands down.

Alice. Classy and timeless

Alice. It is timeless, and immune to fashion and fads. I think its rather elegant. I don't mind Matilda but I don't like shortenings like Tilly etc.

Matilda.

Alice is quite popular and makes me think of Alice Tinker from the Vicar of Dibley.

Matilda makes me think of the house robot on Robot Wars unfortunately, as much as I try to focus on the Roald Dahl character!

I have a Matilda, we call her Tilda. Since having her last year every other child I meet is called Matilda. Met a very nice bulldog called Matilda last week as well.

Alice. Much less faddy.

I tend to prefer less common names and normally I’d plump for the more unusual choice, but Matilda has soared in popularity in recent years, and is likely to fall from favour and date much quicker than Alice.

Matilda - we have a 2 year old Matilda nn Tilda.

All the Alices I have known have also been crazy!
