Hrm. I like both of these names a lot. I don't know about
Matilda becoming to Euro-chic, but being in the US I don't think it really matters. I'm leaning toward preferring
Matilda, actually; I'd be more likely to name a daughter that if I had to choose between the two. Eh, no, I'd name her
Margot . . . um . . . Right, I can't choose! Both have great nn options, imo, and have nice meanings.
