HelpRe: Mathilda
in reply to a message by Laurie
Matilda might experience a brief comeback because of the recent celebrities who've named their daughters Matilda.
Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams (with godfather Jake Gyllenhaal) also named their daughter Matilda, btw. Plus someone else... Sting or someone, I can't entirely remember.
Personally, Matilda is a character in a book and a name for old ladies. I really, really, really dislike this name because I find it so masculine and ugly - like the name of a mean old warty witch. It's so clunky and harsh, imo.

I really agree with this. I too see Matilda as a mean, warty witch! I can't help it! It's just an ugly, old-lady, clunker name to me. I don't understand when people rave about it's "prettiness" or how "feminine" it is. HUH??
