    I LOVE the name Matilda. If I could use it I would have Milly for short!

    Oh Chelsea is one of my FAVOURITE names!!!

    It's a hard choice - Matilda is so so beautiful but is becoming increasingly popular.

    Our Matilda gets: Tilda at home, and Matti at other places sometimes. Jovie calls her "Ta" so sometimes we do too.

    Matilda wasn't even on our shortlist of names and 3 days after she was born we found Matilda and decided it was perfect. Turned out it was.

    Have you looked up meanings of names? It is German for "Fierce warrior maiden" and I reckon it fits my Matilda to the T!!!

    I totally love Matilda, it definately gets my vote!

    I would shorten it to tilly or Maddy/Mati.

    Any middle names chosen?

    Our Matilda gets called 'Tilda' by just about everyone, sometimes Tildy. That was how her older brother and sister said her name after she was born, so it just stuck.

    I love both Matilda & Chelsea...
    Hard choice for sure!..
    I think for me it would end up Chelsea only because hubby doesnt really like Matilda.
