Re: Alice or Matilda?
in reply to a message by Julie
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.

Thanks. I do prefer Matilda for everyday use...but I would like an occasional nickname, you know? I don't like Mattie because it is so popular, what with all the Madeline's etc. out there right now.
