Opinions please on names that go well with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]. We really love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] but not sure with using the same initials. Is it too matchy?! Open to any suggestions!
I donāt think [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] are too similar, especially if you use the nickname [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], which doesnāt sound like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] at all.
If you find they are too similar for your taste, maybe consider:
Amabel nn [name_f]Amy[/name_f] or [name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] nn [name_u]Winn[/name_u]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] nn [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_m]Isadore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] or [name_f]Dora[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elli[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f]
Thank you. I should have added that we would like to use [name_f]Iris[/name_f] as a middle name!
Really love your suggestions of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], [name_m]Isadore[/name_m]! These are definitely going to be put to DH. Iām finding it so hard as all my friends have girls so quite a few of these suggestions have already been taken.
What nickname would you suggest for [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]?!
Also I realise [name_f]Iris[/name_f] doesnāt go with some of the names I like above! But it isnāt set in stone itās a family name we are considering.
Matching initials are not a problem! [name_f]My[/name_f] brother and I share initials and I have never thought badly of that - in fact, itās a nice extra connection we have and my mum used to joke about how it made naming easier. Go for the name you love and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is GORGEOUS.
Thank you! I think Iām more worried people will think weāre going for a theme! We just seem to love M names! I do think [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is super cute so would mean I can use the family name too. There are some great suggestions here though so Iāll see what DH thinks! Xx
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is gorgeous
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is a nice name itās upbeat, spunky and I can definitely see why people are using it. A family friend recently named his daughter [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] and I thought it was lovely. I do think [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] & [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] are a bit matchy and could be restricting if you were to have future children however if you love it go for it.
I love [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]! But [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] and [name_f]Tabby[/name_f] is too much.
[name_f]My[/name_f] nieceās are [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], also love these though. [name_f]Verity[/name_f] is nice!
I canāt use [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f] or [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] but all of these are great suggestions too.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] thank you!
As nicknames for [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], I like [name_f]Mae[/name_f] best, or maybe [name_f]Bella[/name_f]/Belle or [name_f]Ella[/name_f]/Elle. You could also use [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Amy[/name_f], or [name_f]Emmie[/name_f], depending on how much of a stretch you are willing to have.
Yeah I agree [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is best, wasnāt sure if [name_f]Belle[/name_f] would work but I like that too! I only had Mabes as another option so thanks!
Tabitha you donāt necessarily have to have [name_f]Tabby[/name_f]. You could have [name_f]Beth[/name_f] or Bitzy
I think [name_f]Verity[/name_f] itās very pretty with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].
Also thought maybe felicity and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. Fliss and [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] x
I think [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] would be super cute together! They are only slightly matchy to me (itās hardly a [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_u]Mack[/name_u] situation), and I think the subtle connection is very sweet. I also like that they both have a vintage vibe.
Matilda Jane is lovely! I like Mabel and think it goes well with Matilda, although I personally have an issue with repeated initials. Thatās just me though and itās certainly not a big deal. Some other ideas:
Thanks everyone some really great suggestions! I really like lots of them so have got a short list now but I think hubby is set on [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]! I do still love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and Iām glad everyone thinks it would go with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], the few people I have told so far didnāt like the matching initials but I donāt mind it as they donāt sound similar so Iām still swaying towards that too. Thanks for all your help
Matilda [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is so cute. I really like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] too. I wouldnāt personally prefer to repeat initials. However, if [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is the only name that you absolutely love I also wouldnāt let the repeating initials thing be a deal breaker. [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] & [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] & [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] go really well together style wise, & arenāt too match-y sounding.
A few more ideas for [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]ās little sister-
What about [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Louella[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] - [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] & [name_u]Lou[/name_u] or [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] & [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] & [name_f]Lulu[/name_f].
