Caroline or Matilda

[TubsAtJoyland]

Mathilde?
Middle name with be Catherine or Elizabeth.

Like them both. You can’t have Caroline with Catherine though.

I really like both but it would have to be either, Matilda Elizabeth, Matilda Catherine or Caroline Elizabeth.

Caroline, so elegant.

I like Matilda Catherine or Caroline Elizabeth. I would probably go for Matilda myself but I like them both.

Caroline

Another for Matilda Catherine.

I secretly hope one of my kids calls their child Matilda🤫. I did have it on my list but DH veto’d it. Obviously I’ll never express this to my kids.

I like Caroline Elizabeth. All beautiful choices though.

Personally I find Caroline so dated. It's quite pretty as a full name but she'll inevitably become Carol or Caz which are so dull.

I have a soft spot for Matilda as the Roald Dahl book is a favourite of mine. Matilda Elizabeth would get my vote.

I love Caroline, nn Callie or Carrie

I like them both, but in the event that they are shortened, prefer Tilly to Carrie (even though not inevitable).

Caroline Elizabeth

Caroline is very elegant and underused, and Callie is a nice nn

Too many Matildas

I prefer Matilda.
To me Caroline is name for adult woman, I think of 30 year old Nicole Kidman looking boss lady... but I still don't like the sound.

Caroline is lovely and a classic name hardly used in the current generation being born. You can also use Catherine as her middle name, why not? There is no "can't" about it! Call her CeeCee as a nickname!

Neither. Both too hard sounding.

I love Caroline, nn Caro

Caroline but both are nice.

Caroline Elizabeth. Caro for short.

When I was naming my girls I thought 'would I like to be called that?' so following that logic I'd go for Caroline as I would definitely like to be a Caroline with it shortened to Caro. Although from my own experience I know shortening of names evolve naturally, both my middle and youngest child have a shortening that their older sibling used for them and it's just suck.

Caroline Elizabeth is lovely.

I've known many Carolines over the years and never once known a Caz or for Caroline to br shortened to Carol

I'd guess Carrie or possibly Carro.

Anyway, that aside, I really like both names. Matilda was on my list for dc1, but dh vetoed! I also loved Tabitha for her. I do not like Tilly at all as a shortening though. I do like Tilda.

I think on balance I'd pick Caroline

Mathilde or Matilda? You’ve written it differently.
But I really like Caroline better.

@CynthiaKnicksOn , Carrie or Caro usually. I do know a Carol(ine) and a Caz. The most famous Cazzy is the Countess of Derby

Caroline could be Cally or Carly

Tilda makes me think of rice

Caroline Elizabeth - nn Carrie, Callie or Caro.

It must he my age, Caroline was quite a common name when I was growing up in the 80's and 90's and it just makes me think of that Shaggy song 'Oh Carolina' from the 90's, not particularly elegant in my opinion. Bit like Louise and Sarah.

I love the name Caroline, it's beautiful.

Mathilda Catherine is lovely.

Not keen on Caroline.
