Mabel Violet or Matilda Rose

I like Matilda Rose! Have you considered Maud?

I think they are both lovely names, and lovely name combinations!

I voted for Matilda Rose, it has a slightly better "rhythm" to it.

I like both, but voted Mabel Violet. Matilda Rosalie would be my choice, tho.

Both are lovely - Mabel is my favourite- love its vintage feel and also love that it doesn’t tend to get shortened. The Matilda’s I know are all Tilly, which is lovely on a child but I’m not so keen for an adult.

Of the two, Matilda Rose but I don't like Tilda and Tilly's a bit wet . Mabel Violet seems frumpy.

Maud is lovely.

I love both names but I love Mabel violet more

Love mabel, i do like Matilda (know one who gets called tilda) but lots of Matildas around since the film, but Mabel is so çute and a little less common.

Mabel. I don’t line Matilda, about ten years ago I though every new baby was called Matilda. Plus Rose is the most utterly boring and overused middle name there is. Apart from Grace and May. Every Matilda will be a Matilda Rose. It’s so overdone.

Love both, Matilda Violet would be lovely

I think a woman needs to be very pretty to carry off dusty old lady names like these. It's not so much the individual names - e.g. Violet is pretty in itself for any woman - but the pairings are dreary, I just think you could do a lot better. As a PP says, Rose is one of those wearily overdone middle names along with Grace and Eve and May, etc

Matilda Rose is my favourite of the two.

Rose Matilda
Rosemary May
Mietta Mabel

Love both. Also Martha

Not keen on Mabel to be honest...I quite like old fashioned and vintage names but Mabel is a bit too frumpy and parlour maid to my mind. I think there's a lot nicer vintage type names you could go for.

Matilda is fine

I like Matilda, but not with Rose as it’s every other girl’s middle name. How about Matilda Violet?
