[Opinions] Josephine, Eleanor, or Matilda?
Okay, let's try this with names people might like more, lol. You have to give one of these names to your daughter. Which one do you choose, and why?
Bonus points if you give me a middle name. :)
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Matilda!
Eleanor loses points because I don't know the meaning. Also, the *nor sound doesn't do much for me (ignore, snore), I am tired of seeing El* names (Elizabeth, Ella, Elsa, Elsie, Elena, Eliana), and she seems a bit stuck-up.
Josephine makes me think of sepia photos and my favorite American Girl doll, but I like Joseph so much that the feminine version would just seem like a letdown.
Matilda makes me think of woodcarvings (I don't know why?), a kid with magical powers, and Pablo Neruda. Plus, the meaning is pretty awesome, which counts for a lot with me. I do prefer other versions of it, but out of these 3, Matilda wins.
ETA:
I forgot a MN -
Matilda Jenny
Matilda Salomè
Matilda Solaris
Matilda Iris
Matilda Iris Eulalia
Matilda Iris Emmanuelle
Matilda Vashti
Matilda Jessamine
Matilda Ceridwen
Matilda Iris Ginny
Matilda Iris Mercy
Matilda Salomè Iris
Matilda Ginny Salomè ...this one...or Matilda Salomè Iris; I like "peace rainbow" as a double MN

They ‘re all lovely names, but I’ll pick Eleanor because it’s the most classy:
You did pick some hard ones in earlier posts, haha. I like this game though, hard or not.
I pick Eleanor. None are absolute favorites but I like this one the best. I wouldn't be heartbroken with any of these names, though... Not like I would be with Kaylee or something.
Eleanor Susannah?
Can't decide if that's too much.
Eleanor Violet

I already have a daughter named Elva so Eleanor would be too close. I like both Josephine and Matilda, but even though my sister-in-law's brother already has a daughter named Mathilda, I'd lean towards Matilda.
Combo would be Matilda Pietronella Odilia, maybe Matilda Pietronella Constanza (MNs bc of honouring)

Hi!
I'm going to share my combos first. (Because I can) :)
Josephine Amy
Eleanor Christine
Matilda Rose
My favorite out of all of these is Matilda Rose. I just love how old fashioned and sweet it sounds. My daughter's nickname can be Mili. Which I love. (Pronounced like Milly).
My second favorite is Josephine Amy. I love the nickname Josie and how Josephine is long and elegant while Amy is short and sweet.
My third favorite (can't say least favorite) is Eleanor Christine. I personally prefer Eleanora. But a cute nickname is Ellie.
So there's my thoughts.
