HelpRe: Matilda and Sherlock
in reply to a message by Howie
Matilda Frances is nice! One of the best dogs I've ever had was Matilda, so it has associations for me, but good ones.
Cordelia rather draws attention to itself, but it's likely to end up as Delia for everyday use, so you should consider how you feel about that. Edith Jane are good together and with either Cordelia or Matilda as a fn.
I knew a human Matilda once who was known as Mattie all the time; she was French but lived in an English-speaking society. I'd prefer Tilly as a nn, and I can't see why Matea would be an improvement on Matilda at all.
I find Sarah soporifically bland. Matilda Frances Sarah would be good, though.
As for Sherlock ... I once almost met a bloodhound named Sherlock! (He existed, but the visit fell through.) I've always liked the notion of having three dogs - any variety, but all eager sniffers - and naming them Sherlock, Mycroft and Watson.
Hugo fits well, I think; but I'm afraid I group Nathaniel with Sarah as cures for sleep deprivation.
By the way, I was at school with a girl, Scottish ln, called Edith Linda Marie.
