Which name do you prefer?

[ChristmasAtHogwarts]

All along I’ve liked two names …

Matilda with nn Mattie or Tilly

Esme with nn Essie

Which do you prefer?

No point in giving Esme a nn. It has the same number of syllables. Why change it ?

So either Esme as it is, or Matilda are fine. Not Essie though.

Matilda by far. I'd go for Mattie as nn as cute and less common than Tilly/Tilda

Esme is OK though.

Matilda, Tilda is a cool nn.

Matilda beautiful

Esme. It really doesn't need a nickname.

My sister's name (she'd 10) is a variant spelling of Matilda, but please not Tilly it's tacky, we call her tilda like tilda swinton. Tilly is overused and not great. I like Esme but it's so short I would just use Esme

I actually prefer Tilly as a stand alone name.

Esme. Matilda is massively overused. Dd is friends with five.

Matilda such a cute name

Esme as long as you say ez-me and not ez-may otherwise Matilda.

Matilda nn Mattie or Tilda
