I like both a lot, but my vote goes to Alice.

---

I think Matilda is much more likely to become popular than Alice.

---

Alice Juliet is very nice, though I think Alice Matilda would be gorgeous.

---

I think Ali could easily be avoided for Alice. Harder for Alexandra, but it shouldn't be a problem for Alice.

---

Hildy is atrocious IMO, sorry. I prefer Matilda with no nickname.

I really like Alice but have never warmed to Matilda. I like both Alice combos you've listed.

I love both names, they are such pretty, classic names, just gorgeous. I would have to say that I prefer Alice though, it's just lovely. Alice Ruby is my fave combo, as Ruby is also another fave name of mine. Matilda Juliet is also really nice. I don't know that either name will become popular, they don't seem to be getting talked about all that much. I think Matilda has more of a chance at becoming popular though, since Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams named their daughter that. I don't think Alice has to have a nn, it's not a super long name or anything. It's so pretty it doesn't need a nn. Hildy I hate, sorry. I prefer Tillie, but you mentioned that you don't like it.

Alice Ruby or Matilda Juliet :)

I prefer Matilda as Alice is too common and Matilda is more sophisticated. Another nickname could be Tilda. I like the French version- Mathilde. Some good combos-
Matilda Rose
Matilda Claire
Matilda Isabel

I love both, but I love Alice more. It's such a beautiful name. Out of your combos, Alice Juliet is my favourite. It's just the perfect combo.

---

I think Alice is short enough to not have any NNs at all, but if you insist on having one, how about Lisa or Liz?

Matilda :)

Both are nice, but I've always really liked Alice. I think Alice Juliet is lovely. :) I've never known an Alice to go by Ali, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Just chiming in with what appears to be the general approval of both names. I love them.

Oh, such a tough choice :-) I love both, but I'd personally go with Matilda. I don't really care for Juliet, but the combo Matilda Juliet sounds nice. I really like Matilda Ruby though!

I love both Alice and Matilda. I think Matilda has a better chance of becoming popular (though I doubt it will become that popular.

---

I like Alice Ruby and Matilda Juliet. If your Alice likes Ali, I don't see how you can avoid it. She may wish to be called that.

---

Hildy is cute, but I automatically think of the gluing-hay-on-walls Hildy. My favorite nickname for Matilda is Millie.

Well, I love them both ...

... and I might someday be naming my daughter Alice Matilda. So therefore I cant make up my mind which one you should choose. I don't like Tildy or Hildy as a nnn so I guess go with Alice. Alice Juliet is absolutely gorgoeus. Alice Ruby is very nice as well. Matilda Juliet is extremely beautiful. I guess if I had to pick from a favorite combo it would be Matilda Juliet. I just cant decide :P

I wouldn't predict either names becoming overly popular anytime soon. I like Matilda much better than Alice. I think it is safe to assume you can avoid the nn Ali for Alice. Alice is not too long or hard to pronounce-I would guess most Alice just go by Alice anyways. Matilda is sure to get a nn somewhere. I think I like Mattie best though. Hildy seems kind of butch to me. Not sure why. Tildy seems the same way. Matilda by itself is nice though. I would try my hardest to keep everyone calling her Matilda.

Both names are nice, but I love Alice. And Alice Juliet is stunning. Gorgeous! (Though that's not to say that I don't love Alice Ruby and Matilda Juliet also)

---

I don't think Alice needs a nn, nor do I think It'd be likely that she'd get called Ali, really.

---

Hildy is okay. It's not my cup of tea, but it's kind of cute. I just like Matilda plain and strong :)

---

I really like Matilda. It is really neat and I don't personally know any girls with this name. Hildy is a cute nn.

---

Alice Ruby is a lovely combo.

---

I have a friend named Alice and everyone calls her by her full name.

---

Matilda is nms.

Hmm... I think I like Alice a bit more right now. Don't worry about nn, Alice... its not really a nn name. As for combos... what about Alice Matilda? Alice Ruby is nice. Alice Juliet seems worn out, for some reason.

---

Matilda is going to be more popular.

---

Hildy for Matilda is kinds refreshing, though I prefer it for Hildegard. :-)

Whats your other childs name?

---

I love Matilda, its getting really popular here in Australia at the moment though..

---

Matilda Juliet is gorgeous!

---

Alice doesn't have to have a nn. My brothers name is Christian and my mother almost didn't call him that because she feared that it would get shortened to Chris. He is 19 now and to this day he has only been called Chris twice and he didnt answer them.

---

I love the nn Tilly but I dont really like Hildy

---

Snape, Sexy and Dangerous!

I think they are both great. What about Alice Matilda or Matilda Alice?

---

We once had a guinea pig named Matilda, nn Millie. Matilda has been popular in Sweden for some time, and I think Alice is getting more popular now. I think Alice and Matilda are among the top 100 in UK, so it might catch on in USA too.

---

What about Tilda as nn for Matilda? Tilda is rather popular in Sweden too as a name in its own right. I like Hildy but maybe spell it Mathilda then?

---

I think Alice Juliet is very beautiful.

---

I don't see why a nn for Alice is needed. But if you call her Alice all the time and correct people trying to call her Ali, maybe she will continue to call herself Alice. But there are not guarantees, once she has started school

---

- She said he made a racial slur!
- Racial? She is Swedish!
- Maybe he called her Meatball.
