Which nn do you prefer for Matilda, Matti or Tilly?

Comments

Matilda, definitely.
Matti sounds too masculine, and Tilly I think of the hats.

Well, Tilly is my dog's name. I like it for her, but I can't imagine it on a child, now that it's been her name for 5 years. Of those three, I like Matilda for a person best.

I like Matilda more or less but I'd never use it myself. I don't like it all that much to use it myself.

Between Matti and Tilly, I'd go with Mattie. I never leave off the 'e' because it just looks a bit tacky to me. It's a cute nickname. Tilly seems too cutsie and I don't really like it that much.

Tilly is adorable.

Matti or Maddy definitely. I'm not a fan of Tilly

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Milly

[juniorfan29.livejournal.com]

I hadn't thought of that one...

That's kind of cute, though, maybe. I'm not sure. It kind of goes along the same line as Tilly, for me...I'm afraid it's too old woman-ish.

Neither really, though I like the suggestion of Millie.

I like the full name. That's my absolute favorite children's book.

That reminds me of Freaks & Geeks. If anyone used to watch it..

i ADORE tilly! i met a little girl named tilly a few weeks ago, full name matilda. also, for reasons unknown, tilly was a nickname my mother used to call me when i was little. ive pondered using it as a full name.

millie is cute too. :)

I like them all, including Milly/Millie. Tilly and Matti would really depend on the child in question for me. Y'know how some kids just really fit with a derivative of their name? I think because I like both Tilly and Matti, I'd just wait and see which one fitted better with the child.

Matti for sure. Tilly is silly. ;-)

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I like Mattie. With an e on the end. Matti seems too cutesy for my tastes.

I do like the name, but all I can think of is the book/movie.

[jordle.livejournal.com]

There is a part of me that really likes Mattie but I think I'd go with Tillie because I think its adorable.

Tilly is so cute

[scribblescrawl.livejournal.com]

I know a little girl named Matilda and her nicknames are "Tildy" and sometimes "Tilda." They're actually very cute and fitting for her :)

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I love Matilda....but I don't like either of those nicknames.

I do like Millie or Lida though [Lee-da - I knew a girl who was nicknamed this when I was younger.]

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Tilda is REALLY cute!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Matilda.
I don't like any of the nn's, actually.

I like Matilda or Tilly. I used to do respite care for a little girl with Down Syndrome called Tilly. But when she was three, they decided to change it back to Matilda because apparently it was too confusing for her, and she didn't undersant the concept of why she had two names. Personally, i think it would have been more confusing to go from one name to the other. :S

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Matti is masculine to me, Tilly is maybe even overly feminine, but I'd go with this one.
If the name were Mathilda, I'd go with Mathy

[turn-it-upp.livejournal.com]

i think mattie is so cute!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Tilly. But I prefer Matilda!

[amethystaisling.livejournal.com]

Neither, I like Tilda.
