HelpRe: Matilda
in reply to a message by Perrine
I live in the US. To me it has a bit of a South American vibe. I also think of medieval Germanic stuff and British suburbia.
I think there are a lot of Americans who would perceive old Germanic names as clunky and popular British names as stylish.
I wouldn't really call it fresh...it's just one of those names that's been around for centuries yet is still used enough that it seems current.
I prefer the sound of Mathilde and Matilde, but if I were going to use a variation of it IRL, I'd most likely go with Maude or Matild.
The only NNs I really don't like for it are Mat and Mattie, although I'd prefer Tildy / Tilde / Tilda over Tilly.
