Please help me pick my daughter’s name. We have an Emilie and Florence. We are expecting a third daughter and I like both of names but can’t decide which to go for:

Phoebe
Matilda

I also like Eliza but might use that as a middle name. Another option I love for a middle name is Autumn…is that acceptable for a November baby? Thank you.

Phoebe is lovely!

I like Matilda too, but I only like Tilly for a child (not an adult) and I don’t like Mattie.

Matilda is nice and works well with your other daughter’s names imo. Phoebe is not my cup of tea as I’m not keen on the double “ee” sound personally. Not that you were asking for other ideas but have you considered Beatrice? (has the “bee” of Phoebe, and fits well in style with Emilie and Florence to me).

Matilda is lovely and flows better with your other daughters’ names, but doesn’t work with the middle names Eliza or Autumn IMO. How about Matilda Phoebe?

I prefer Phoebe, and it works with either Eliza or Autumn as the middle name

Matilda

I think you can get away with autumn, at a push..

My cat is named Autumn and she is a November baby!

I prefer Matilda. It is quite popular as others have said, but I think Phoebe sounds a bit dated, as it was very popular probably 15-20 years ago.
