I love Adelaide, and Adele is a great nickname. I also like Ada and Adela as nicknames.

---

I like Matilda but it's a little clunky. Mattie is cute but I can't stand Tilly.

---

Adelaide and Matilda are great sisters!

---

I like the names alot, seperate though!

I used to really like Adelaide, but the English pronunciation really got to me, as it sounds like "lemonade". And, too, I've never liked the inevitable nickname "Addie".
Matilda is nice and I love the meaning of it; but I've never been fond of the mildly harsh sound of it and the nickname "Mattie".
As far as the worry of popularity, Adelaide doesn't look too bad. It isn't exactly popular, but it is in the top 1000 (in the US, anyway). But one never knows; it could be the next Keira. It looks like Matilda is rapidly growing in popularity there in Australia, so that might be a problem if that is an element of concern.

But overall, despite my personal dislikes, they are very regal-sounding and respectable names. God bless!

I, too, have a love for these names. I find them both very appealing, yet for some reason doubt I would ever have the guts to use them. They fit together very well with their similar "once was an old-lady name but now is coming back and is retro/cool" vibe, haha. However, I would probably not use the names together just because for me it would be too much. I would pair them with a simple, lighter name for a more balanced sibset (Adelaide and Lila or Matilda and Mae). But, for anyone else I think they are great together and would love to meet two sisters with the names.

Adelaide, Matilda, Rowena & Evelyn/Eleanor -- I'm not so sure about Rowena (I like just Rowan, but moreso on a boy). I love Evelyn nn Evie and Eleanor fits well.
Adelaide, Matilda, Lawson & Flinders (Lawson & Flinders were explorers) - Lawson and Flinders are nms
Adelaide, Matilda, Ambrose & Maxwell - Gorgeous!
Adelaide, Matilda, Declan & Ambrose - Very nice

I adore both. Adelaide is gorgeous- I like Addie, but Adele is nice too, another idea is Della. And Matilda is lovely, very Aussie. I don't know if I'd have the guts to use Adelaide (I live in Australia) but its in my Top 10. Matilda would be there too if it wasn't a friends name.

---

I can't see Adelaide becoming really popular, especially in Australia- I think quite a few people will have trouble seperating it from the city. But Matilda is on the way up I reckon.

---

I've never been too keen on Adelaide, but it's nice. I love Matilda though, and I think it sounds great with Adelaide. All of the sibsets sound great to me! :)

Adelaide has slowly grown on me lately and I have no idea why. Matilda is a family name, so I am partial to that as well. I think they sound great together as either a combo or as a sibset.

They feel really similar for some reason, almost as if they are to similar to be siblings, I don't know why, that was just my first thought when they were next to each other in the subject.

I like them both.
Matilda nn Tilly a little more than Adelaide.
& I like Adelaide , Matilda , Rowena and Eleanor :)

I like:

---

Adelaide, Matilda, Rowena & Evelyn/Eleanor
Adelaide, Matilda, Ambrose & Maxwell
Adelaide, Matilda, Declan & Ambrose

---

Adelaide isn't for me, but it's a nice name for someone else. Matilda is gorgeous!

I really like them both. But I love Matilda.

I really like Adelaide, but not Matilda.

Love them!

---

I like Adelaide, Matilda, Eleanor and Ambrose or Maxwell

They are aussie sounding, but not overwhelmingly so. I have talked to people on these boards before that didn't even realise Adelaide was a city in Australia...

---

I like Adelaide, Matilda, Rowena, Eleanor, Maxwell and Declan.

---

Ambrose was my sister's budgie's name. (Mine was Amos).

---

Evelyn i really don;t like. I just seems so unneccessary, Eve or Eva is much prettier.

I love both of them, especially Matilda.

---

Adelaide and Matilda sound great with Evelyn or Eleanor, Rowena kind of sticks out. Adelaide and Maxwell sound great, as do Matilda and Ambrose, but I don't like the alliteration, especially with Matilda and Maxwell; Adelaide and Ambrose is okay. I love Declan in that set.

I love both names! I have a niece named Adelaide and she's a cutie pie. I don't see it becoming popular, I'm not sure about Matilda. They make a really nice sibset.

I really like Matilda with the nn Tilly, I know a little girl named Tilly (short for Matilda) she is so cute, with curly hair. Adelaide isn't bad but I prefer Adele as a full name. Adelaide (or Adele), Matilda and Evelyn make a good sibset I think. Oh yeah, I know an Adelaide too and she is a little terror. Lol.

I love both Adelaide (nn Ada or Adele) and Matilda (nn Tillie/Tilly or Tilda/Tildie/Tildy). They're beautiful names - and nice for sisters.
