Siblings for Matilda?
I know some people are kind of tired of Matilda, but as far as names go, it really isn't all that popular in the U.S, and DH and I love it.
However, I'm not sure what names would pair nicely with it, if we were to have a Matilda and she were to have a brother or a sister, what would you suggest?
In case it helps, we like Matilda because of the literary and historical associations, and I particularly like the medievalness of it. So names along the same lines would be perfect.

How do you not love Elizabeth? I love it; I worry about it being a bit common sometimes, but I love it. You're my second Guinevere! It's going on the short list.
August is wonderful. He really likes the nickname 'Gus'... so, that is going on the list too. I also like Thomas, a real favorite, but we have someone very close to us with that name.

You sound like you've been reading about the Mozarts and the Webers.
I do think Mozart is amazing and find his family life interesting, but I did chose those names without thinking of their relations to Mozart.
What about:

It's becoming the number 1 contender. Thanks!
I love Matilde so... Matilda is right up my alley as well.
I think that Beatrix, Camille, Adelaide, Charlotte, Eleanor, Rosalind, Cordelia, Althea, Therese, Veronica or Tiffany would make sense.
For boys/brothers, I would go with Henry, Leopold, Hugh, Gilbert, Conrad, Roger, Edmund, Otto or Wallace. .

I adore Henry. We know 5 adult Henry's, so it is a little hard for us to use that one. I do love Ed- names, too, though... Edmund, Edward.
Adelaide & Eleanor are favorites. I really like Rosalind & Veronica, too. Veronica is particularly nice, because the 'ron' part could be honoring. It is a stretch, but still... Thank you!
