Question about Short Forms

posted 1st Mar
So really the only name DH and I can sort of agree on is Matilda. What we definately agree on however is that we are not crazy the short form of Matty. With names like Madison and Madaline being popular its quite common and most importantly it sounds a lot like DD#1 name.

My question is, is that preventable? With a name like Matilda is it inevitable that either she or everyone else will shorten to Matty?

I think it all depends on the child.

Sienna is my daughter, so just as many syllables and she does not have a nick name.

I think it is possible, but if it is what she wants to be called in the end you wouldn't be able to change that.

I think most kids end up with nicknames of some sort. Sometimes they don't catch on, sometimes they do. It really all depends on what the people around her call her.

It is very possible but you could probably mostly prevent it but nicknaming her Tilly. Which is super cute.

No, it isn't. Matilda is only three syllables, and Matty isn't the first nickname some people will come up with (Tilly/Tilda).
