Narrowed it down now can't decide!

[Violetandpurple]

Matilda - always loved and love the nn options
Alice - love that it's timeless and suits all ages but unsure if I love it or just know it pleases people?
Maisie - it's very pretty and love that I could use May as a nn as that's a family name but using May as a first name doesn't match our surname

I know many feel Maisie is too cutesy but I personally don't get that vibe from it, especially with the different names around these days.

So which do you prefer?

Matilda - sounds like it's the one you like the most, so go with it :)

Alice for me.

Too many Matilda/ TIlly etc around. DH is a teacher and there is one in every class.

Matilda.

It’s the only one where you don’t say anything negative about it.

I vote Maisie, you don’t have to shorten it

Sounds like you want Matilda tbh.

I’m actually not keen on Tilly. There are soooo many everywhere, but no one seems to say Matilda.
The same goes for Maisie/Maisy/Maizie. There are so many.
Alice is okay. They mostly seem to call themselves Allie.
But out of your three I would choose Alice as the least dated/saturated.

Alice Matilda goes nicely and gives you a lot of options.

I like Matilda as a full name or Alice. Sorry agree with Maisie being cutesy but if it is your favourite go for it!

I know four Maisie's (all little children) but I'm in Scotland where I think it's more popular. I don't like it, it's cute on a baby or small child but I would be embarrassed introducing myself at a work meeting in my 40s with that name. I've got a (slightly less cutesy) childish name myself and I don't like it either now I'm a proper adult.

I'd go with another option personally, Alice is lovely.

Love all of them but if I had to choose I'd go with Alice ❤️

Alice.
Alice Matilda is lovely. Not keen on Tilly at all.

I've never known a nice girl called Alice.

I love Matilda, it's beautiful, and shortens wonderfully.

Matilda - I love it and i don't think it's massively over-used (I'm a teacher and really haven't taught that many of them).
Alice is a name I just have never liked. It's a very bland name, kind of wet-sounding.
Maisie is ok but not a patch on Matilda!

May as a nn for Maisie is a bit naff especially if it doesn't go with the surname. Maisie is ok but I know a ghastly one

Matilda is OK but overused, not keen on the nn

Alice is nice

Matilda - punchy and elegant

Alice - nothing wrong with it, but bit dull

Maisie is cutsy and also slightly faddy/had it’s day. It’s short for Mary or Margaret originally, so if you do want to go with it I’d call Marianne or Marguerite as a full name.

I hate Matilda. It's just one of those names that sounds ugly to my ears.

Alice is better than Maisie. I'd go for Alice.

Alice by a country mile.

Matilda is nice.

Maisie is very insipid. Just May as a standalone name would be better.

I love Matilda or Alice.

I like Maisie but agree about the cuteness thing.

Matilda…my favourite name ever but we have 3 boys so haven’t been able to use it!

Matilda or Alice, probably would go with Matilda, both lovely names.

Alice is awful.

Maisie and Matilda are both lovely, don't like May as a nn for Maisie though. I like Tilda as a shortening for Matilda.

Matilda!

I love Alice.. it's a beautiful name, timeless and elegant x

Matilda. With Matty for short.
