My husband has always loved the name Matilda for very sweet reasons so I’m happy to jump aboard but I’m concerned about how popular it is where we live. Any alternatives that I could suggest to him that he might like? He likes that there is Tilly as a nn but he doesn’t like Ottilie (which I love) and also likes the literary/music reference for personal reasons.

How about Tilda. It’s less common version and could still have nn Tilly
These are all such fabulous suggestions thank you! I am going to relay to my husband and see what he thinks.
