This name just happens to be my name, Mathilde Liseanne. I always pronounced it differently than Ma-teeld though. I was always a bit embarrassed by my name. It wasn't easy growing up with it... I got picked on. Kids are so mean.

This is a really pretty name! I like it pronounced just like Matilda, not ma-TEELD as others have said, but both are correct. This name gives me a very medieval, old-fashioned vibe.

The name Mathilde was relatively popular in the beginning of the 20th century, was pretty uncommon by the 1940's, and got super trendy in the late 80's. It reached its height in 1996.

Mathilde is such a gorgeous and beautiful name! I like it better than Matilda! Mathilde is so sweet and soft, and beautiful! A beautiful classic!

This is a gorgeous name. Perhaps I like it a lot because of, as noted above, Mathilde in “A Very Long Engagement” but I just think it’s so much lovelier than Matilda (or, for that matter, lovelier than the spelling Matilda).
I agree; I love the ‘H’ in the middle. I do think that, as someone said, it gives it a sort of ‘grit’ or grittiness. I love the pronunciation ma-TEELD; I think it’s so beautiful. Stunning!

I find this spelling very unique! I think that it is just as beautiful as Matilda, but something about this spelling makes me love this name even more. (:

In the book Spinners by Donna Jo Napoli, which is a retelling of Rumplestiltskin, the child Rumplestiltskin demands from the queen is named Mathilde. I think I like this spelling better than Matilda, though they're pronounced the same.

I quite like this name, which is strange, considering I somewhat dislike the name Mathilda. At any rate, I think the "H" in the name gives it grit and makes it interesting.

Pretty, but I hate the "H" in the middle. I've always believed it was pronounced "Mafild(e)" but "Mateeld" sounds so much better. I like the name Matilda better, though.
