TEN THINGS YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HEATH LEDGER-MTV
6. His daughter's name might have an unusual connection.
Ledger and Michelle Williams' 2-year-old daughter is named Matilda Rose. We don't know why they gave their daughter this name, however, it's worth noting that there's a famous Australian folk song called "Waltzing Matilda." The lyrics tell a story that involves the death of a man who commits suicide by drowning himself in a lake.

There is no doubt that Heath's daughter was named after the Australian song, "Waltzing Matilda"....
"Waltzing Matilda" is as Aussie as kangaroos and koalas, it is an Australian icon. It is sung as the "unofficial" national antherm at venues and ceremonies throughout the country. Aussies sing it with pride and elation and it not only brings a lump to our throat when we hear it, it makes us feel a rush of pride and elation for our country.
It would take too long to explain the words in the verses of the song, or why a song with such a story gets a hold of us Aussies, I guess you have to be an Aussie to know. Its the same as when Americans hear the Star Spangled Banner, it just makes you burst with pride, and if you are overseas, would make you cry with homesickness....thats what "Waltzing Matiilda" does to Aussies.
No doubt, Heath felt the same way about the song, and by naming his daughter Matilda, he has given her a name that is a constant reminder of his homeland and her origins. I hope when she is older she will realize the significance of why her dad named her Matllda.
To imply that there is a "connection" with the lyrics of a man drowning himself after committing suicide, is absurd, cruel, and absolute nonsense and demeans the real reason why Heath would have called her Matilda.

There is a Matilda Bay in Perth. And Michelle loves a Roald Dahl book of the same name.

Court, kudos on the montage of this jacket. He kept it quite a while, I'm guessing it's a Shem.
