Lista com nomes para os irmãos de uma menina chamada Matilde.
Clare's insight:
What works well with Matilde? Quite a lot of the names suggested are Portuguese versions of names that "go" with Matilda in English, too.

Happy September! If you liked the girls' names crossword*, you might like the boys' version. The clues are silly and it breaks a number of rules, such as symmetry, but the important thing is it contains the top 100 names.

As before, it's a printout, unless you can do clever things like typing on PDFs. Enjoy!
