[Opinions] Isla or Array (Baby name wizard)
I'll just ask you to look up Matilda and Holly for me as I can imagine that it's very annoying having to look up names for people all the time. I promise I won't ask for any more! Thanks.

*In France and Scandinavia, Matilda/Mathilde is a hot name, a stylish sister for Sophie or Isabel. In the U.S., its image as a dusty antique still lingers. Consider this a chance to be ahead of the curve. Matilda's brightest days could still be ahead.Holly

*This charming botanical is generations removed from Lily and Daisy, but gives off the same good vibes. A natural for girls born in the Christmas season.For what it's worth, I think Holly and Matilda (nn Tilly) are both lovely.Array

I'm amazed Holly is so unusual in the States! (It's #23 here, but I wish it were more unusual as I love it.) I can see that changing though ... Holly seems to be cropping up on all the boards :-)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor"Yeehaw!" is not a foreign policy!

ThanksThanks for looking them up for me. Glad you like the names, Holly is my name and Matilda is one of my favourite girls names. It was interesting to see Aurelia down as a sister for Matilda, I love that name!

Can't you just use the Behind the Name database?Just go to the main page & type the name into the search.
I know for sure those 2 are in there.
Besides, this is the opinions board.
