I like Matilda, but even more my daughter's name, Mathilde (prononced like Matilde, French way). We call her Mati.
It is a family name and most Mathildes in my family go by Mati or by Tilda, which I don't really like. Some use Mimi.

Esme is nmsaa. On a boy though it makes more sense (Esmee would be for a girl).

I think Matilda, nn Tilly is lovely. I really like both names. I don't really like Millie as a nn for Matilda, no. Esme and Matilda make a nice sib set, although I'd prefer Matilda and Esme. I think it sounds better with Matilda first. Matilda always makes me think of "Waltzing Matilda", but that's probably because I'm an Aussie!

I LOVE Matilda; I think Tilly and Millie both work, although i prefer Tilda as a nn.
I'm not sure about Esme and Matilda as a sibset; they have really different vibes to them for me.

Love Matilda with the nn Tilly. I suppose Millie would be ok too use too.

Esme and Matilda go really well together. :)

I love Matilda, but I could go without Tilly. If I had been able to talk DH into using Matilda, Milly would have been her nn, so yes, I definitely think you can get away with it. Esme and Matilda feel slightly mismatched to me, but I think it would work.

I really don't like this name.

WDYT of Matilda with the nn Tilly? Love it.
Could you get away with calling Matilda Millie for short? Absolutely.
+ WDYT of Esme + Matilda as a sibset? Wonderful. They go together really well.

I don't really feel Esme and Matilda as a sibset, but I do love the name Matilda (it's my daughter's middle name.) I like the nickname Tilly or Tillie, and I think you could definitely get away with Millie as a nn.

I love it. :) I think Millie would be a fine nn as well. I don't like Esme much though and I don't think it goes well with Matilda either for some reason.

I absolutely love the name Matilda and think Tilly or Millie would work as a nickname. Esme and Matilda would be a very cute sibset.

When I was little I had a cabbage patch doll named Matilda, but I called her Tilly for short! I think the nn Tilly can work for awhile, but when the child is older, she may want to go by Matilda.

Esme isn't may style, but it works well with Matilda.

Like Tilly but not Matilda.

I suppose you could use Milly :S

I really like Matilda! My favorite nn is Tilda, but Tilly is good too. I think Millie could work.

I love both Matilda and Esme individually and together as a sibset. I don't think I'd use a nn for Matilda, but if I did, I prefer Tilly over Millie. You could get away with either, though.
