ArchivesRe: What made Mathilde severely drop in popularity in Belgium?
in reply to a message by tibby
I think you are right. However, I don't understand the decline, as names used by royal families don't usually decrease in usage that much. Maybe they found the name Mathilde over-the-top?

Normally, in countries with royalty, names increase in popularity when used by a royal family or when someone marries into a royal family. Do Belgians hate Queen Mathilde or something?
