Mathilde spelt the French way, is that naff?
Maude?
Melicent?
Astrid?

Think I'd have Melicent somewhere for a girl as it means strong/brave.

I know a Matilde but she is constantly annoyed by people adding an 'a' to the end What about Milicent? Juliette?

I can never think of boys names. I feel very drawn to girls names as I was when pg with DD. My DC all have Ancient Greek/Latin names so may try and stick to that theme...

Boys....gah! Um, help!

Matilda
Millicent
Annabel
Beatrice
Gabrielle
Isabella
Annabel
Eloise
Francesca
Nell
Cordelia
Ophelia
Suzanna
Louisa
Maria
Delphine
Clementine

Astrid is fabulous. I also love Maude, personally I wouldn't go for Mathilde she'll constantly be correcting people.

I don't like the spelling Melicent.

Maude is lovely.
