Re: Matilda
in reply to a message by Lily
I've never met a Matilda of any age so I wouldn't say it's too popular.
Mattie > Maddie. It looks balanced and more adult. I think they sound the same in most accents.
Tilda and Tildy have grown on me but only as silly nn's probably used by best friends.
I adore Matilda. My sister makes fun of me because I wore the movie "Matilda" out when I was little so that's all she can think of. Matilda and Lucinda sound a little too similar to be a sibset but I never really care about that. Luci makes more sense to me as a nn for Lucinda but it looks incomplete.
