[Opinions] Nickname I heard today
I work in a school and I heard a parent calling her little girl "Tillie" and I asked her what that was a nickname for and she said Matilda. I thought it was a very cute nn, but then again this girl was so cute, so I might be biased. WDYT?

I absolutely LOVE Matilda, but don't really like Tillie. It is sort of cute, though.

I had a great aunt named Matilda nn Tillie. I think Tillie is a nice nn but I don't care for Matilda.

I love Matilda but Tillie is the name of my great-grandmother's old grumpy cat so I don't really like it (although I can see the cuteness appeal). I prefer the nickname Mattie for Matilda.

I like Matilda, but it seems to be getting popular in certain circles. :-/ Tillie / Tilly is definitely my favorite nn for it, too, but I prefer just Matilda (never Mattie, though!).

I would of never thought of that! I can' stand the name Matilda but Tillie sounds adorable on it. Where's the Kaboom? There's suppose to be an Earth shattering kaboom!" -Marvin the Martian.

Tilly is my preferred spelling and it is what I'd call my daughter if I ever had a Matilda. I like it and I think it's cute.

I wonder if there are any other names that Tilly could be a nn for? I am not a big fan of Matilda, but since I heard that nn today, I am a huge fan. Can anyone think of a full name that could have Tilly as a nn?

Ottilie / Ottilia / Clotilda - the only ones I can think of
