Mathilda is the name of my great-aunt, who was born in the 1940s. She has always gone by Hilda and was one of my favourite people from my mother's side of the family (until a rift appeared on that side of the family a few years ago), because she is a boisterous and fun-loving person.

I prefer the spelling Mathilda myself, because it's closer to the original name and therefore seems more correct.
