Hi,

We already have a daughter called Matilda Olive and we are expecting our second daughter. Which name do you prefer? Or if you already have a Matilda and can offer an alternative, I’d love to hear some!

Phoebe Anna
Phoebe Isabella

Esme Anna
Esme Isabelle

Thank you!

Phoebe Isabella

Phoebe/Esme Anna sounds too much like Phoebeana/Esmeana

GMH1974 · 28/03/2024 19:05

Alice Phoebe

Esme Isabelle gets my vote! I like all your choices, but Esme is my favourite of your two first names.

Other names that I’ve heard with Matilda / go nicely with Matilda imo -

Tabitha
Alice
Amelia
Florence

Esme will always get the esmay/esmee pronunciation issues if that bothers you.

out of the two Phoebe Isabella sounds better but I prefer pp suggestion of Alice.

Alice Isabella

I’m not sure that either complements Matilda. But I’d go for Phoebe Isabella of the four.

Phoebe isabella is cute.

GrandDesignsShame · 28/03/2024 21:00

I know sisters Matilda and Felicity. Adorable 😍

LizzieBet14 · 28/03/2024 21:00

Matilda & Esme ❤️
Not sure that either choice of middle name flows very well, but still nice names individually.

MKWarrier · 28/03/2024 21:00

I’m interested in this as we also have a Matilda and are expecting our second girl. Clearly we have similar tastes, as we are likely to go with either Isobel or Isabella for DD2.

Of your choices I like Phoebe best. Esme has too many pronunciation issues for me. Other names I/we have considered to go with Matilda are Alice (my fave but DH not a fan sadly), Lara, Jessica, Abigail. I also like Rosa and Anna.

Phoebe Isabella is the best in your list imo.

Phoebe Isabella doesn't flow very well but middle names aren't used much.
Esme Isabelle has the same issue a well as the repetition of s.

How about Florence?
