I have a 5 year old and we don't know any Olives or Penelopes or Matildas.

I think outside the top 10 you're pretty safe on the "guaranteed to have another in your grade" front.

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

It reads Australian to me, too, but I do like it. Although, isn't it spelled "Mathilda"?

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

Also a musical.

And there's "Waltzing Matilda"

Plenty of Aussies called Matilda. Ranked number 7 in popular girl names there last year. Where’d you come up with the dildo nickname?

That's an ugly name.

My DD is named the Irish version of Margaret, and I think her name is beautiful! She is Mairead.

(Margaret is her grandmother and great-grandmother's name, so Mairead is named in their honor).

I know a lady named Tilghman who goes by Tilly.

I like the nn spelled Tillie. Tilda is lovely too but more of an adult nn. I love names that can grow with a child.

I think it’s adorable! I too had a husband who only liked top 10 names. It was really annoying and uncreative of him in my mind.
