Never, ever

soulcupcake · September 2014

Have I done a baby name poll. But now I'm curious. Her first (Ruby) and second middle (Rose) are 100% decided. I still find myself going back and forth on the first middle. DH likes the names we've considered, and I really like them, too. I've tried a few out for a little while to see how they fit. I've narrowed the choices down to the following.

I know Matilda is the least popular among them. While it's old fashioned, which I use exclusively, it's not a feminine and "pretty" old fashioned name, but I have a soft spot for it because it was one of my favorite childhood books and movies. It, along with Eleanor, is also the name of royalty. And the same for Marguerite. Annabel comes from Poe's "Annabel Lee," as I'm a big Poe fan, and had Henry been a girl it was a top choice.

My girls' names are Grace Elizabeth Katherine and Evangeline Lily Marie.

Sorry, not sure whether the poll is for us to click the name we like the most or the least?... since it says "never ever"

But I think I like Matilda the best actually. Loved the book and movie as a kid too and just think it is actually a pretty name. I also like Marguerite... mostly because Margaret is a family name on my Mom's side of the family.

Ruby Matilda Rose for sure

I love old names. LOVE.

ETA: OMG. I think this is the first name poll that did not make me throw up in my mouth.

Love Matilda! I also love the nn Tilly/Tilly but I also think Matilda is a great name on its own. I also love Marguerite.

ETA: Oops I think I misread the post. I definitely think Ruby Matilda Rose sounds the best!

Matilda is actually my favorite. MIL hates it because it's "too old fashioned." :snicker:

I love Matilda!! One of my favorite childhood books as well. I've always had a soft spot for the name.

The one you like or feel flows the best. I watch the movie every chance I get. I never get bored watching it.

Matilda, every time.

I love older names My kids are Elijah (old, but has become popular again, sigh) Martha, and Zephaniah. This one will be Tabitha Catherine.

My cousin's name is Annabel and I have always loved that it's from a dark, romantic poem but she always hated it because to her it sounds too "country." Still, out of the options I love Matilda. It's adorable but classy. Plus I'm a crazed Roald Dahl fan (autocorrect hates his name).

I think Ruby Matilda Rose sounds beautiful.

JRod13 · September 2014

I adore Matilda.

@MaineMama‌ - I'm in love with your names.

Ruby is going to be the first name. She's looking for suggestions on a first middle name. So it will be Ruby ______ Rose LastName.

I'm only responding because I had to read it through twice to understand what she was asking.

Oh woops! Honestly my brain has turned to straight mush and I'm dense now.

In that case I vote Marguerite.

Thanks, ladies!

I voted for Annabel because it was one of our choices and I just love it, but I seriously love all of these names. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these!

My 1st daughters name is Anabelle Christine. I have never second guessed it. And she gets SO many compliments on it. Very classic and beautiful. We call her Belle for short, but it's rare that we shorten such a gorgeous name.
