[Opinions] Re: Adelaide & Matilda
in reply to a message by Bex
I adore both. Adelaide is gorgeous- I like Addie, but Adele is nice too, another idea is Della. And Matilda is lovely, very Aussie. I don't know if I'd have the guts to use Adelaide (I live in Australia) but its in my Top 10. Matilda would be there too if it wasn't a friends name.I can't see Adelaide becoming really popular, especially in Australia- I think quite a few people will have trouble seperating it from the city. But Matilda is on the way up I reckon.

1929: 0

1940s: 4
1950s: 8
1960s: 13
1970s: 22
