Mattilyn

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!

What do you think of Mattilyn?
To me it seems very American, in the same way that [name_u]Madison[/name_u] does. I’m not really a fan on [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] ect. but I actually quite like Mattilyn. It sort of reminds me of [name_f]Natalie[/name_f].
What do you think,
Thanks,
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] xx

I don’t think this is a real name.

I’m not gonna lie. If I saw Mattilyn on paper, I would groan loudly and roll my eyes.

I’m sorry, but…it seems like a made-up trendy name to me, and I hate those. If I met someone named Mattilyn, I would think “Poor you…”

It does sound like a made up trendy name.

It is not “all american” like [name_u]Madison[/name_u]. [name_u]Madison[/name_u] Avenue and particularly [name_u]Madison[/name_u] Square Garden are landmarks in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m], so the name is all-american for different reasons.

Totally agree with Southern [name_f]Maple[/name_f].

I would also role my eyes at this name.

[name_u]Madison[/name_u] is a surname at least. What the hey is wrong with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] or, OK, [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]?

I can definitely see the appeal, but I also see why everyone isn’t on board.
It does have a pretty sound and the nickname [name_u]Mattie[/name_u] is precious. It’s just so trendy and predicable.

Personally I prefer [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], but I can see how someone would like Mattilyn.

Why? Aloud, I don’t think it’s even distinguishable from [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f], etc. it’s just another yooneek spelling. I don’t see the appeal at all.

I’m going to agree with rmclay on this one (and renrose and southern.maple).

Wretched spelling! [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] are perfect as is.

What I think? I think it looks like a try-hard, yooneek name.

What’s wrong with [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] etc.? :slight_smile:

[name_u]Mattie[/name_u] by itself would be fine, but Mattilyn reminds me of Matalan, the chain of shops. And also, I hate the -lyn ending on pretty much every name, so I’m biased anyway.

Is this a legitimate name? I’m not a fan of made-up names, I’m afraid.

Ugh…seriously? Why? When [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is so exquisite…

I actually like Mattilyn… sorry I didn’t mention that in my previous comment.

It sounds ghetto spelled.
