I know [name]Maisie[/name] is a nickname for [name]Margaret[/name], but I love the name [name]Matilda[/name], but not crazy about [name]Matty[/name] or [name]Tilly[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you think I could use [name]Maisie[/name] as a nickname for [name]Matilda[/name]? WDYT? Thanks!

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. If [name]Maisie[/name] can be a nickname for [name]Margaret[/name], I don’t know why it can’t be a nickname for [name]Matilda[/name].

Another suggestion is you could call her [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Mae[/name]. I love the combo, and with her middle name [name]Mae[/name], [name]Maisie[/name] could easily be a nickname for her.

Good luck!

It totally works. My daughter’s name is [name]Maisie[/name], real name [name]Margaret[/name], but I don’t see why you couldn’t use it as a nickname for [name]Matilda[/name].

I think [name]Maisie[/name] is an adorable nn for [name]Matilda[/name]! I think it works great.

[name]Matilda[/name] is beautiful, and [name]Maisie[/name] is adorable, as is [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Mae[/name]. I think, as the parents, you can use pretty much any nn you want!
