Re: Matilda
in reply to a message by Lily
I love Matilda, but it's rapidly increasing in popularity and I think it will become trendy soon - if it is not already. When I was at nursery I had a friend named Mattie - I presume it was shortened from Matilda - and I think the only reason I remember her is because of her name. If I had an Matilda I would definitely use the nickname Mattie quite regularly, I really dislike Tilly, though I do not mind Tilda. I think Matilda "Mattie" and Lucinda "Lucie" are lovely as sisters, though I still do slightly prefer Lucia :)
