It is? Well, damn. Unfortunately, I can't change it now because the scene with Ned doesn't work if I do. And I explained why I picked the name in the chapter.Just, uh, one thing…Matilda and Maud are actually the same name. So I don’t think Edmund and Katherine would name their second daughter Maud if their older daughter is Matilda.
some suggestions instead:
- Bridget
- Agnes
- Eleanor
- Edith
- Cecily
- Ursula
- Lucy
- Barbara
- Beatrice
- Blanche
- Philippa
- Isabel
I found that, assuming you're not talking in Latin, you can get away with it: Matilda is the Latin form of the Saxon name Maud and Matilda comes from the Germanic name Mathilidis, of which one shortened form was Mahald and another was Mahaut… which brings us very close to Maud.
But they're not German. Or speaking in Latin. So I think I'll be alright.
