My little sister's name is Mattie Renee and I think it's soooooo cute! It is not a nickname or anything in her case, it is just her name. Although we call her Matilda or MattieLoo as nicknames. She is named after our Great-Great-Great Aunt Mattie. It suits her very well.

I liked this name, thinking it tomboyish but still sweet. Then I read Ethan Frome, was incredibly annoyed by the simplicity and naivite of Mattie's character, and will never look at that name as being anything other than plain.
