my husbands name is Matt so that's where we came up with matilyn. We are undecided on middle names. He wants to use my middle name which is Cheyne....any thoughts would be great

Just a thought on the "Matt" thing... Is this your first baby, and do you think you will have more? If you are planning to have more children you might want to "save" Matthew for a possible boy. It sounds like your husband wants to name a child after himself but if you use Matilyn, Mattea, Madeleine, Matilda, etc you will probably want to avoid Matthew for future siblings because the names will be too similar to each other. I know there is no guarantee you would ever have a boy, but something to consider.

Please don't saddle your daughter with the name Matilyn, it's such an bad cross between Matt and Kaitlyn.
Madeleine is great suggestion. You could nick name her Maddie, or Maddy and that could be a nod to your husband. Madeleine is such a classic, strong, beautiful name. It's so sweet while she is young, with it's great nick name variants. It's a name she could really grow into and blossom in as a classic, strong woman.
Just throwing this out there - My mom left out an E on the end of my middle name, it's something that's horrified me my entire life. I've contemplated legally changing the spelling of my name.
I *think* you're going for Madeleine but spelling it to match your husbands name. If so, as someone with a not even close spelling of a classic name that my mother thought was phoentic, it has given me daily problems in my professional life. I spell my name at least 3 times a day. Even my boss, coworkers, and family who have known me my entire life still spell it wrong. Sometimes I even lie to avoid the hassle and tell people it is the classic spelling.
PLEASE hear what I am saying to you and do not name your child a made up/mispelled name.

Seriously. Why is illiteracy a trend in child naming? I'm sorry but this is just heartbreaking.
I'm so confused by these names, sorry.

And why would you give her a masculine middle name? Don't tell me it's your husband's middle name, because that's kinda messed up.
I won't even touch Matilyn. The fact that you know it's made up makes it worse.
Madeleine is great suggestion. You could nick name her Maddie, or Maddy and that could be a nod to your husband. Madeleine is such a classic, strong, beautiful name. It's so sweet while she is young, with it's great nick name variants. It's a name she could really grow into and blossom in as a classic, strong woman.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
