Re: Matilda

Wow. Matilda & Lucinda is a STUNNING sister set. The only way it could be any better is if Matilda's nn was Tillie or Millie. Mattie just sounds like knotted dog hair to me.
Matilda gets two thumbs up from me. It's very popular in Aus but then it's a very Aussie name, and I love it's ties to my country. And my best friend's name is Matilda (nn Tilda) so positive association there. I don't know about US popularity, but I know it's no where near Aus and UK levels. As for whether it's on the rise, I'm hopeless at prediciting.
