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

Matilda, I love Matty as a nn for it.
Not keen on Heidi really.
Rose while a beautiful name is one of the go to middle names, seemingly every other girl born has Rose or May as a middle name. I'd choose something else.

Matilda

Heidi Rose is a great choice.

I think Rae is now the go-to middle name.

Heidi Rose

You will get Tilly and Tills with Matilda. Can’t shorten Heidi

Starryskiesinthesky · 13/12/2021 07:27

Heidi is much nicer.

Matilda Rose sound better than Heidi Rose BUT the question you should asking yourself instead is "Do I prefer Matilda or Heidi?" because that's the name you're actually going to be using a hundred times a day from now on. The Rose bit is an adjunct so don't let it blind you.
For that reason, I'd go with Heidi which I think is the preferable first name; more unusual and less prone to shortening.

100% Matilda - great name

Heidi is so flipping twee

Heidi. But I like Tilda more than both - it’s on my list.

Both lovely, prefer Matilda

MonkeyPuddle · 13/12/2021 11:08

I have a Matilda. We call her Tilda. Or Teapots. I think as we’ve always called her Tilda no one has used Tilly.

Heidi as you have no control over nn.
I'd rethink the middle name, as Rose is too popular as a middle name

Heidi Matilda is nice

Matilda

Heidi sounds old fashioned and for some reason Heidi Rose make me think of a villain.
Also the two names just don't go together.

Heidi

As a pp suggested Heidi Matilda is lovely.
