Alternative to Matilda

[Spanishgreekenglishfamily]

When expecting my boys I had my heart set on Matilda if they had been girls.
Unfortunately, a couple of friends have used it so don't think I can anymore without looking like I'm copying.
Also, I dislike Tilly as a nickname. Don't really like nicknames full stop.
What else would I like?
Welcome to comment on above situation and if you think I should still use it anyway.

Elodie??

How close are you to these 'Friends'? How likely are you to be close friends in 5 years time - realistically. How much time are you likely to spend with them, with the kids??

There are unlimited names, personally I'd choose something else, unless you have a deep connection with it (your mothers name or something)

If you love Matilda you can still use it. In a decade you might not still be in touch with the people who used it ‘first’ and even if you are it’s ok! Equally you could pick a less common name and the might be three in her school classroom. Go with your gut.
