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).

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


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

Also a musical.

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.
