My husband and I have a young daughter named [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Geneva[/name].
We made a choice before [name]Matilda[/name] was born to name our kids after loved ones who have gone before us and the city in which they were conceived.
We are currently expecting our second child in [name]May[/name] and have narrowed it down to two choices for girls and boys.
Which name goes best with [name]Matilda[/name] (we don’t use nicknames)?
I do love [name]Eloise[/name], but my vote is for [name]Bernadette[/name]. It’s just so mich more sassy and fun, and also much more original.
For a boy, my vote is for [name]Walter[/name]. It’s a relatively safe choice, but [name]Alistair[/name] feels a little too whimsical for a grown man, in my opinion.
I think [name]Eloise[/name] goes better with [name]Matilda[/name], although both are lovely options! As for boys, [name]Walter[/name] seems very old fashioned. I went to school in [name]England[/name] and fell head over heels in love with the name [name]Alistair[/name], where lots of men go by the nickname [name]Ali[/name] even as an adult. My vote is for [name]Alistair[/name]! Can’t wait to hear!
One thing to think about: If you use [name]Eloise[/name] you probably can’t use [name]Alistair[/name] in the future and vice versa. They’re very similar sounding and make a tongue twister if you say them together.
I love [name]Eloise[/name] with [name]Matilda[/name]. I think it pairs very well but isn’t matchy and the two names sound excellent together.
I’m torn between [name]Walter[/name] and [name]Alistair[/name]. I usually like [name]Walter[/name] more but I think [name]Alistair[/name] actually goes better with [name]Matilda[/name].
So my vote goes to [name]Eloise[/name] and [name]Alistair[/name]!
You run the risk of [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name] (both characters from popular kids books—in the same similar category (little French girls))…but that could be really cute…
My picks are [name]Walter[/name] and [name]Bernadette[/name]
[name]Love[/name] [name]Eloise[/name] with [name]Matilda[/name]! Although I don’t generally love [name]Bernadette[/name] so maybe I’m not the best judge
For the boys I’m really torn! But I think I’m going to go with [name]Walter[/name]. It’s time to bring him back, and I think [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Walter[/name] are fabulous together.
[name]Bernadette[/name] and [name]Walter[/name]! The other two are wonderful as well but [name]Bernadette[/name] and [name]Walter[/name] go splendidly with [name]Matilda[/name] and are so spunky and fun! Best of luck!
I love [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name].
The boy’s name is tough though. I love [name]Alistair[/name] but I think [name]Walter[/name] goes better with [name]Matilda[/name], they’re adorable together!
Can’t wait to hear!
