Final 2 Girls Name

[sunshinesandybeachclearbluesea]

Narrowed girls names down to Matilda or Eloise.
Which do you prefer? And Why? Both go nicely with surname.

Thank you 😊

I prefer Matilda. It's less fussy.

Matilda

Matilda by far. Great nicknames and a classic name, ideal for child or adult.

Love Matilda ❤️

Matilda definitely. Lovely nicknames. Not a fan of Eloise x

Inspired by Eloise at the Plaza and Roald Dahl's Matilda?

I think I'd go for Matilda.

Matilda , it’s lovely.

Matilda.
I love the nn Tilly.
I do like Eloise but there's something about seeing it written down that I don't quite like.

Eloise. I’ve never liked Matilda and at one point it felt so overused.

I also dislike Tilly as a nickname, so bland.

I like them both but personally would go for Eloise, just because I think Matilda is generally always shortened so you rarely get to hear the full name anyway.

I like Matilda.

Matilda is lovely. Eloise is OK but a bit fussy.

Matilda. Because no one will ever spell Eloïse properly. (It has a dieresis)

I think Eloise but like both

Héloïse

Matilda

I love Matilda. My favourite book as a child and would have been ds2's name had he been a girl (I have 3 boys!).

Eloise, because Matilda is quite popular where I am. I haven't met an Eloise (except for one my own age), but have met a few young Matildas.

It has a dieresis

Is the parent even planning to use that? Many don't. I went to school with two girls in the same class called "Chloe", one spelled just like that, but the other spelled "Chloë". The only Eloise I know doesn't use the dieresis as her parent didn't spell her name like that.

Eloise definitely.

Matilda seems stronger. Totally irrational of me to think that...

Matilda but I like them both. Don't have a good reason.

Matilda just love it

That's my point. If you can't spell it, don't use it.

That's my point. If you can't spell it, don't use it.

Fair enough. I disagree. You can spell names how you like. Hannah or Hanna, Michele or Michelle (knew a Michele), Chloe or Chloë or Chloé.
