[Opinions] Re: Matilda
I live in the US. To me it has a bit of a South American vibe. I also think of medieval Germanic stuff and British suburbia.I think there are a lot of Americans who would perceive old Germanic names as clunky and popular British names as stylish.I wouldn't really call it fresh...it's just one of those names that's been around for centuries yet is still used enough that it seems current.I prefer the sound of Mathilde and Matilde, but if I were going to use a variation of it IRL, I'd most likely go with Maude or Matild.The only NNs I really don't like for it are Mat and Mattie, although I'd prefer Tildy / Tilde / Tilda over Tilly.
