How do I get to Tilly without using Matilda?

DH and I are agreeing on [name]Tilly[/name] but I’d like to use it as a nn for something…[name]Matilda[/name] is pretty popular here in [name]Oz[/name]. Any other ideas for getting to [name]Tilly[/name]? Thanks!

Ottile is one way.

[name]Tyler[/name]/[name]Tylah[/name]? Matilyn, Matilyne. [name]Natalie[/name]?
Here is someone who had the same problem!

[name]Tilda[/name] would be the easy way, but feels chopped off.

[name]Clotilda[/name], [name]Clotilde[/name] - first syllable like [name]Chloe[/name]'s first syllable. Klo-till-dah

[name]Tallulah[/name]

[name]Natalie[/name]

I like [name]Tilda[/name] on it’s own and [name]Ottilie[/name] pronounced the [name]German[/name] way ot-till-ee-ah

[name]How[/name] about [name]Felicity[/name]?

I love [name]Tilly[/name]! I had a similar [name]Tilly[/name] thread running, too. Although I’m not sure there are really any new ideas from it, but here it is, just in case.

My favorite way to get to [name]Tilly[/name] is [name]Elizabeth[/name], but I like [name]Clotilda[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name] for someone else’s child.

Good luck!
