Tilly

[BeKindBeYou]

Thoughts on this name? I realise some do not like ‘nicknames’ as first names, but that does not really bother us! We have really struggled to find a name, but think we have found one we both agree on but just wanted to get some last minute feedback!

Surname is welsh, Gw……

It's a name for a pet or small child. I feel sorry for all these future Tilly, Daisy, Summer and Poppy's in their adult lives.

I don't like it. It's weak sounding. And makes me think of a checkout till. Not an interesting reference point at all.

I love it!

Is Tilly a a nickname of a nickname?

Matilda -> Tilda -> Tilly?

I love it. Its a "real" name. Its on my nieces BC. Therefore its real because its hers. Im not a fan of Matilda for a totally pathetic reason.
She usually gets shortened to Tills.

I know a Tilly who is a young adult now, it makes me think of posho nicknames or a cat for some reason 🤔

I’m not a fan of Tilly. Or Milly. Twee and dreary.

It sounds weak and nothingy but it's inoffensive

@MrsBungle I though those were 4 names you didn’t like then, meet my friends, Tilly, Milly, Twee and Dreary. Lol

It’s twee. It’s a name for a pet or a toddler. It’s just a nothing name.

@Mymapuddlington to be fair, Dreary and Twee are worse than Tilly

If you like it, then that’s good enough.

There are other options though and if you aren’t keen on Matilda, you could opt for Ottilie or something else.

If I ever have quads that's what I'm going to call them

So insubstantial.

Vapid. OK for a pet puppy, maybe. Give her Matilda. She'll thank you for it.

A PP suggested 'Teleri'. I've never heard of that name, but I do like it!

I love Tilly!

Ottilie or Matilda, nn Tilly = lovely

Tilly as birth certificate name = insubstantial

Agree with everyone else. It’s really insubstantial.

Matilda, Tilda, Ottilie are all great.

I also dislike Millie / Milly for the same reason.

Why feel sorry for them? If there are so many it won't be such a big deal for them will it?

I wonder what your children are called?
