Names like Matilda

[El91]

Hi!
My partner and I are having a hard time coming up with a name for our baby girl that we both agree on. I’m not due until May so still have loads of time but i want to have a name decided.
At the minute her name is Matilda. I love it but my partner just thinks it’s ok.
Other names we like are Alice and Darcie.

Can anyone think of any other names along the same lines as these. I like ‘normal’ and old fashioned names as opposed to modern names.
Her middle name will be Elizabeth so something that goes with that 😊

Matilda is fabulous! Stick with it! (I have one!)

I really dislike Darcie/Darcy/Darcey. It wasn't much used as a girl's name until the 1990s when Darcey Bussell became famous.

Alice is lovely.

Matilda is nice but dulled by popularity

I of course think Matilda is a lovely name, but I don't think I have met any Matildas under 25 and it is not exactly common.

Are you me?!

Eleanor
Bethany
Felicity
Ivy
Iris

I know a 5 year old Matilda.

If you like the name Elizabeth why not use that for a first name?

The French variation Mathilde is very sweet and has a slightly different sound. Perhaps your partner might be more taken by it?

@MatildaIThink

I of course think Matilda is a lovely name, but I don't think I have met any Matildas under 25 and it is not exactly common.

I know quite a few Matildas, and also quite a few Tilly's who are Matilda on their birth certificate.

Similar feeling names/female siblings of Matlidas/Tillys i know -

Florence
Annabel
Eloise
Penelope
Eleanor
Charlotte
Violet
Alice (but on your list already!)

If you like the nickname Tilly/Tally, Natalia is also a lovely option

Love love love Matilda! It was dds name until the day she was born.

Beatrice
Eliza
Isabella
Annabell
Florence
Nancy
Violet

Lacey / Lacy?
Rosamund / Rosamunde / Rosalind
