Matilda is fine. Mathilde is heard in my area occasionally, but mostly for older women; perhaps it's time it became popular again. I prefer Margo to Margot. As to Euro-chic, we don't have that here!Although I live in a French-speaking area (in Canada) there doesn't seem to be much adoption of names from France..people tend to repeat the familiar names, or use English ones, which are considered slightly exotic. (or exotique.)
Matilda
Matilda and Mathilde have always been chic in Europe :)

I love Mathilde {I pron. it Mah-tilde} but I choose Margot.I dislike it spelt like that,Margo is lovely.Margot isn't
I like Matilda better. I don't think you should worry about whether or not it's becoming too popular; it you like it, use it.
Margot, although I'd say it's more Euro-chic than Matilda.
I have a soft spot for Matilda because of the children's book, but it seems unattractive to me in the same way as Agnes or Gertrude would. I do prefer Mathilda.

Matilda
It sounds softer than Margot (I find R- and G-sounds very harsh). Matilda also has many nn options (Mattie, Millie, Tilly, Tilda).
Matilda is rather popular in Sweden, so it may be more popular in Europe than in USA. Is this what you mean by "Euro-chic"? Or does "Euro-chic" mean "too European-sounding"?

Matilda. I don't know if it's Euro-chic or not, but still...Matilda.
Matilda all the way!
I don't feel that Matilda is becoming Euro-chic. The only problem is that it's becoming phenomenally popular I don't know any one with this name.

Hrm. I like both of these names a lot. I don't know about Matilda becoming to Euro-chic, but being in the US I don't think it really matters. I'm leaning toward preferring Matilda, actually; I'd be more likely to name a daughter that if I had to choose between the two. Eh, no, I'd name her Margot . . . um . . . Right, I can't choose! Both have great nn options, imo, and have nice meanings.
