Priya Matilda - opinions?

[Bluebunnie]

Hey, what’s everyone’s opinion on the name Priya, paired with the middle name Matilda?

I am half Indian, so I’m okay with the fact that the name has a cultural assumption.

Matilda is the name of my sister.

We already have two children, Isaac and Cassia.
This baby is our last.

My initials are PMS 😫

You are not the only one! I know a PMT which is what made me think of it! She got a very hard time at school - lots of "ignore her: it's that time of the month ..."

May I ask what makes you see it as a god awful combination? Is it just personal opinion or something I’m missing?

Matilda is the name of my sister so that will be her middle name regardless.
Is there something in particular about it being paired with Priya that you don’t like or is it just Matilda full stop?

@Bluebunnie , it's just the opinion of someone who feels every child must have a filler middle name. Take your pick from Rose, May/Mae, Rae, Grace, Jane, Anne, Marie or Louise. James or Jay for a boy.

I would have Matilda first, too.

Love the name Priya, not keen on the combination

Why when everyone will be calling her Priya?

Matilda is really popular Op: it is far from awful.

Love both names! 💛💛💛

I like Priya more than Matilda though.

I’m guess you don’t want Matilda as her first name because it’s your sisters, so I guess that’s not really an option.

I like Priya, I have met/know quite a few and think it’s pretty however assuming your DD will be only 1/4 Indian and assuming she 3/4 white (correct me if I’m wrong) I don’t think she will thank you for giving her a name she will have to explain. Of course that may not be important to you and of course you can use it just something to consider.

Why will she have to explain it? Priya is a pretty well known name. It’s easy to spell and pronounce. It will just be her name 🤷🏻‍♀️

@SpringBulbsPop , not everyone will know it, and I'd probably ask about a name that is new to me.
I don't think that there is any reason not to use it.
