Re: Matilde/Matilda
in reply to a message by Skylar S
I associate it with probably the best dog I've ever had: it was her name when we adopted her from the rescue centre, and she knew it, so we kept it. I'd never had any thoughts about it, but that changed. Unfortunately, I don't connect it with humans!
Matilde looks wrong to me on two counts. I'm used to pronouncing the -e at the ends of some names sometimes, so that's OK, but I'm also used to seeing Mathilde as a French name and hearing it, in my head, with a silent -e.
