If you are considering naming a child, think twice about using a “cool” exotic name.
Think about your child having to visit school one day and especially girl groups will happily take any strange standout feature as a source for bullying (own experience with a girl in elementary school).
Having said that, Mathilde will probably be ok, Brunhilde less so, although it is arguably much cooler.
Maybe your child was being bullied for another reason. I myself have a name which is represented in the world by exactly 2 people, and I did not get bullied in the slightest. Also, I’m naming my future girlfriend. Not my child, I would never torture a soul by birthing it on earth.

It’s complicated…

Unfortunately, you got that slightly wrong.
My daughter was one of the bullies… 🫣
That is… Interesting
Individually, each of the girls is super sweet, thoughtful and considerate.
As a group it is all about fitting in and punishing any kind of non-conformity.
They are slowly learning, though.
This type of group dynamic seems not to be uncommon, I’ve been told.
Especially (but not exclusively) within girl groups.
Hence my earlier call for caution.
