Maddie would be the official name.

Can't decide!

Madeleine is lovely, Maddie cute as a nickname for that only.

Sabrina is nice, not as nice as Madeleine though. Pity.

Apparently Sabrina the teenage witch is making a comeback so you may want to bear that in mind

Madeleine. Maddie for short. I'm not keen on nickname style names as official names (personal preference. No offence intended).

I love Sabrina. So pretty and reminds me of the old film with Audrey Helpburn (I think). Very classic!

Sabrina reminds me of that pop star from the 80's who went out with Simon Cowell. Sorry.

My daughter is called Madeleine and we adore her name!! She loves it too. We call her Maddy as the shortened version.
It's still my all time favourite girls name!

I don't love Sabrina, but it's preferable to Maddy. Maddy as a given name is ... not great.

Madeleine..? Wink

Definitely Sabrina

Personally I'm not keen on just Maddie. Madeleine is on another level of loveliness imho.

Never liked Sabrina. I do like Marina though.

Sabrina rather than a shortened version of Madeleine (which is a gorgeous name, and would otherwise be my first choice).

OP, is there any reason you don't want to use the full name and just use Maddie as a short version?

I suspect you'll hear 'Oh is that short for Madeleine?' about 20 times a week otherwise!

Maddie's ok if she ends up as a dancer but a high court judge or prime minister? I agree if you got that route you should call her Madeleine.

Lmao at all the people saying Madeleine, as if the OP wouldn't have already thought of it.

I like Maddie. Sabrina is awful.

@NameChangeFamousFolk - actually, I assume she'll be asked if it's short for Maddison (this spelling is now most popular) as this is the most popular 'Maddie' name.

OP specified that Maddie would be the official name hence the Madeleine comments.
