[Opinions] Matilda?
I just started learning to play the song "Waltzing Matilda", which is a song I've loved for a long time. But, untill now, I never really took much notice of the name. I'm starting to really like it.
I'm having a bit of trouble coming up with combos though. I tried it with all of my girls honouring names but they all just seemed to boring:
Matilda Loren
Matilda Claire
Matilda Jane
... See what I mean? It's a big snooze-fest.
So I'm thinking the MN is going to need to be a bit more "unusual", any ideas?Also, WDYTO Matilda nn Mat?TIA

Oooh, I love Matilda also, because of the song. I've loved it for a long time because my grandfather used to sing Waltzing Matilda to me when I was a little girl...it reminds me so much of him.Anyways, most of my combos are honoring someone, but here they are:
Matilda Rae
Matilda Kathleen
Matilda Christine
Matilda Darlene
Matilda Ann
Matilda Joy
Matilda Lillian
Matilda Victoria
Matilda Julia
Matilda JessicaI also just like:
Matilda Greer
Matilda Ruby
Matilda Alice
Matilda Robin
Matilda CosetteThere are probably others...from yours I really like Matilda Loren. I don't find it boring at all. Matilda Claire and Matilda Jane are both nice, even if they are a little mainstream, but hey, they're honoring someone.

I actually think Matilda Claire sounds really pretty, I don't think it's boring. I'm not crazy about the NN Mat (too masculine), what about Tilly or Mattie?

I like Matilda Claire the most. And I like "Mattie" as a nickname.

I'm completely in love with Matilda, mainly caused by the Roald Dahl book of the same name; one of my daughters WILL have this name.
My top combo is Matilda Claire, but I also like Matilda Abigail. Matilda Sinead could be cool, and it would also honour a Jane.
My fave nn for Matilda is Tilda, mainly because Mat would become Mattie and end up sounding like Maddie, making sure she fitted in with all the Madisons and Madelines.
