Matilda

[LuciaRose]

What do you think of Matilda, nickname Tilly? How does it compare with Lucinda, nickname Lucie?

I am also considering this name. Love the versatility - could suit a very feminine or tomboy girl. Anyone with a Matilda get 'Waltzing Matilda' tho and would you dare call her this if you were thinking of moving to Australia?

Lucinda better than Matilta i think.

I like Matilda lots. Also like Martha which I think of as being quite a similar name for some reason.

Not keen on Matilda/Tilly I'm afraid.

I like Lucy, Lucia and Lucille, but not Lucinda.

Makes me think of the book, I really like it.

I know quite a few Matildas/Tillies under 5.

I only know of one Lucie under 5.

Personally I prefer Matilda but probably wouldn't use it because I know so many other children with that name

Matilda/Tilly very common round here (Surrey) and feels very 'now'.

Lucinda/Lucy much more classic.
