Matilda

[MariaIrene]

What do you guys think of the name Matilda?

I really like it

Matilda feels dull and tired to me. It's coming down in popularity after a peak in 2016.

It's a classic! Tilly for short, I love it

I love Matilda and the variants - Mathilda, Matilde, Mathilde

I have one and I still love the name, she's a teenager now. Friends called her Mattie, some people call her Tilly or Tilda too. She's the only one in her year and all through primary.

Really like it

Love it.

Pretty name

Love it 😍

It was one of my choices 20 years abo but Dh didn’t like it so we didn’t go with it. I still like it.

Really love it

Love it, and the nn Tilda

Me too 😭 @TheChosenTwo

There’s a lot of them - mostly aged about 8 to 20 around where I am - but it’s nice.

Yes, but Mattie not Tilly.

Very overused.

Lovely name, however I have 3 in my 20 person mums group! Seems to be v popular at the minute if that bothers you

Not one of my personal favourites but nice enough.

Hard to predict current popularity with the 2022 data still not available, yet alone this year's, but I have a feeling it's on the up again after the release of the new musical film. I have heard it on 3 newborns this year alone.

Not keen on Matilda - feels a bit fussy to me. But there are two in my DS's class so clearly others disagree. Do expect that by age 7 or 8 all her classmates will have shortened it and use a variety of nicknames - Tilly, Tilda, Tildy , Tills, Matty etc.

Overused.

Love it! Hate Tilly. Love Tilda or just Matilda!

Was on my shortlist alongside Madeleine wish I fought harder for both my DH …such a good lifelong name

I think it's nice albeit with the caveat that dd who is 25 has a multitude of friends called: Tilly, Milly, Molly, Ellie, etc.

I dont like it

I love it. And it's underused in it's full form . Lots of Matilda's but called Tilly/Millie/Mattie/Tilda not many actually called Matilda ime.
