Matilda

[Anonymous]

Great name - bridges trendy (your DH’s preference) and classic (your preference), nice meaning and namesakes, popular in the UK but not yet in the US.

Unless you’re Australian, don’t.

And every Aussie knows that “Tilda” will be called dildo

Tilly is a stupid nickname.

I like it.

Love it. It’s on our list for a second daughter. We know a Tilly, and a Mattie, and a Matilda crossing several generations.

Love it, but I’m biased since it’s DD’s name! We don’t use a nickname.

It sounds like a maid

I like it.

The bummer is that I love all your suggestions except for Naomi.

I don't love his suggestions.

Matilda is more old-lady cool, but it's familiar. Any interest in "Mattie" as a nickname? (I prefer Tilly, but Mattie could be a compromise.)

That's what I was going to suggest, since he likes Maddie, sell Matilda using "Mattie".

+1 I love this

You could even do Maddie as a nn for Matilda.

DH and I can't decide on a name and I'm going to bat for this one. DH loves Olivia, Maddie, Lilly, and Sophia he loves a top 10 girls name.

So far he has hard vetoed Elizabeth, Katherine, Sabrina, Naomi and Rebecca

Nice!

Or the classic Roald Dahl book the movie is based on?

There will be more than one. It’s in the wave with “Olive” and “Penelope” for me.
