I have a friend from another board who just had a baby girl and named her Mathilda.
It's happening already!
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I know two other babies named Mat(h)ilda.

Wonder how fast Isabella, Esme, Alice, Renee and such will rise on the popular list.
Will be interesting to see if Susan every comes back in style.
While K-Bug hasn't had a bunch of same named kids, there have been a ton of sound alikes. Her softball team at one point had Cailey, Keily, Kelly, and Kayla.

I like the name Lillian too.
I've yet to hear of another kid named Leif, I think it was in the 70s that Leif even made the baby name charts.
Emaryn is pretty unique from what I can see, but there are loads of girls in her school who have names in the Em... family.

She's only 4 days old!
And it's Matilda (no h) Lucretia.

My sister's friends just named their son Emmett.
There are a lot of Lillians around Lillian's age. I mean, I still love the name and all, but wow.
Edith was my mother's mother's name, and Esme was Dad's grandmother. For a long time, I liked the name combo Esme Helene.

Same spelling? Despite Emmitt Smith, I can't get around the "i" variation. I just think it looks more balanced with two Es, two Ms, and two Ts.

And it's Matilda (no h) Lucretia.
Oh thank goodness. I was pronouncing it Math-ilda in my head and that was just wrong. Although maybe not if you really love math.
I had a babydoll named Lucretia when I was little. Named after early Feminist Lucretia Mott! [link]
I've always thought I might like to use the name Emmett for a boy because I like it and it's a family name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That baby name list hurt me with Aiden, Jayden AND Caden in the boys' top five.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I love the name Lillian too. All Buffista sprog have good names.
