I love Matilda. It's the name I've always had for a girl. BUT someone close to me used it, and I don't like the shortened versions.
I prefer short names that are less likely to be shortened. Boys name are biblical. Most Biblical girls names just have many negatives associations, although I do really like the combination of Eden Matilda (let me know your thoughts).
I'd hate not to use Matilda, so please throw me some girls names that would go with middle name....
Thank you.
