Matilda Rose or Heidi Rose?

[CinderellaFant]

I think I'm leaning slightly more towards Matilda. Which do you prefer?

Matilda Rose, but only because I prefer Tilly Rose

Heidi 💖

Same as @Chilver

Heidi

I much prefer Matilda

Matilda

Matilda Rose but this makes me think of Heath Ledgers child. Not sure if the name is correct but it rings a bell

Heidi Rose. Definitely.

Both are lovely💕 (no help!) 😂😂 do the initials (with you surname) spell anything odd? MR HR ?! HRT?!

Matilda Rose, I'm partial to Tilly as a nickname.

Matilda
Heidi Rose doesn't go

I prefer Matilda to Heidi as a first name. Mattie is a cool nickname for Matilda, in case Tilly seems a bit childish when she’s older.

Much prefer Matilda - it just sounds more classic/stronger to me than Heidi. I also think if you or she decide you aren't as fond of the name later, Matilda gives you lots of nickname choices/options.

Surname begins with M so would be MRM or HRM.

I'm not overly keen on Tilly which is what's making me think twice about the name Matilda.

Matilda, definitely. Heidi is a nickname for Adelaide and seems a bit unfinished on an adult to me. I don’t think it goes as well with Rose either.

Matilda, my DD is Tilda and it really suits her.

Matilda.

Both lovely names, but I prefer Matilda.

Matilda by about a million miles. It's classic and beautiful, and paired with Rose it's stunning.

Heidi is awful, so twee and cutesy. It's a diminutive of the German Adelheid, not Adelaide as said above though I suppose it would work with that name too. But on its own, it's not good.

Never in my 63 years have I heard Heidi as a nickname for anything. Heidi is definitely a complete name in and of itself.

That being said, I prefer Matilda. Maybe she will be able to do magic.

I have a second cousin called Heidi. She is ironically Swiss. And horrible. When I was a child she tormented me by stamping on grass snakes so for that reason alone I much prefer Matilda.

@lucascriesalot it’s definitely originally short for Adelheid (which is anglicised as Adelaide). Maybe it’s more popular now as a standalone name but as a German speaker I can tell you this is 100% its origin!
This is also the case for the character Heidi in the book by Johanna Spyri.

Matilda rose! Absolutely love it. So much so that you’re making me regret my daughters choice of name 11 months on .. why didn’t I think of that

What I also don’t like about Heidi is that it is basically meaningless. So Adelheid means nobility, adel means noble. -heid (or modern German -heit) essentially means -ness.

Matilda means strength in battle which is way cooler

If you don't like Tilly as a nickname I think that's your answer.
