HelpRe: Matilda & Scarlett
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
Matilda has never appealed to me much. I share glassmidnight's image of "vintage tea set" except to me it seems antiquated and fussy, as well as cozy and elegant. It's a square-sounding, doughy name in my mind. I met an active and imaginative little girl named Matilda who dispelled that a little bit, but not really enough.
If I did like Matilda a lot, I'd fret a little about it being less shiny because it's among all the McSurname names + Michaela variants that are trendy, since it shares a lot of sounds with them. Makayla Makenna McKenzie etc.
I used to really like Scarlett. It was like Charlotte's wilder sister. But ... I dunno. It suits certain people, like the daughter of an occasional poster here, Lillian - it's smart and adventurous but not sly. But it's so bold and colorful yeah, sometimes can seem harsh. On someone like me, or a few of my friends I can think of, or on someone like Ashley Wagner or Jennifer Aniston or Hilary Clinton ... it could also come off a little abrasive and theatrical IMO. So ... I dunno.
