Help[Opinions] Re: Adelaide & Matilda
in reply to a message by Bex
I used to really like Adelaide, but the English pronunciation really got to me, as it sounds like "lemonade". And, too, I've never liked the inevitable nickname "Addie".
Matilda is nice and I love the meaning of it; but I've never been fond of the mildly harsh sound of it and the nickname "Mattie".
As far as the worry of popularity, Adelaide doesn't look too bad. It isn't exactly popular, but it is in the top 1000 (in the US, anyway). But one never knows; it could be the next Keira. It looks like Matilda is rapidly growing in popularity there in Australia, so that might be a problem if that is an element of concern.
But overall, despite my personal dislikes, they are very regal-sounding and respectable names. God bless!
