Matilda

[Pilki]

Any opinions on Matilda (Tilly) for short

I think Matilda is a lovely name but I don't care for Mattie, Tilly or any other abbreviation.

i think matilda is a really cool name. it reminds me of the roald dahl book and the little girl in it is really smart and nice

Love it.

it's very pretty

lovely. I know a Matilda and it's Tilda for short...

I love Tilly. Think it's a really cool, pretty name

I've got a Matilda who's Tilly for short and I get loads of compliments. In my totally biased opinion I think it's a lovely choice!

I thought of Roald Dahl too ... lovely character. (and i also like Tilly )

Love Matilda or Tilly. Excellent choice

Ahhhh Im loving it even more after these comments xxxx

We have a Matilda, known as Tilly, so I think it's the most fabulous name choice

my favourite girl's name atm

I like it too

Lovely

i think this thread has settled that you should definitely name your baby matilda!

I think your right pandavark, I loved the name and this just confirmed it for me x

i love the meaning of the name too. mighty battle maid.... just like DD!

I've a ten year old Tillie (Matilda for long) and still love it- rarely hear of any others too which is nice and when she is older she has a choice of what to be called. She has just told me that she likes it too...

I think it's a bit trying too hard

but I do like the name

My partner loves Matilda.

I love it, it was my first choice for this baby if it is a girl, but DH wasn't as keen.

Agree re the lovely Roald Dahl reference.

yep, great name
xx

Now if you can help me come up with a name for a sister for Tillie (Matilda)? The first one was easy...

tilberry, like you i love the name.
i also love the names, juliette and amelia, both of which i think go really well with matilda. i suppose it depends on your surname.

I love Matilda too but prefered Mathilda for DD, it was 2nd choice, she ended up being Madeleine.
