I don't find it nice, Matilda's way better.

There's a woman named Bathabile Lastname serving in the South African government - she's a Cabinet minister and very feisty! OK, it's pronounced more or less like bah-TAH-bee-lay but it's visually close to Bathilda.I assume that the h in Bathilda is silent. As in Mathilda. In which case it strongly resembles Mathilda (or Matilda) as said by someone with a really bad head cold. And that's enough to put me right off.

I prefer Mathilda. It sounds softer and less like "battle".

No, I've never heard it on a real person and I think it's rather awful. But if I had a bat, I would definitely call her Bathilda! :)
