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).


The Welsh version is Megan. No h.

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.

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?

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


Also a musical.

And there's "Waltzing Matilda"

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.
