Thanks!

Oh dear not Madison.

Violet is a beautiful name though.

Violet out of those two, but I love Madeleine.

Madison sounds like a lap dancer.

Violet is nice, Madeleine is lovely.

Violet is a beautiful, classic name.
Madison is an avenue hideous.

Please call your new DD Violet Smile

Violet 💜 Not only do I have a beautiful 18 month old with the name but I've never seen the appeal of Madison personally.

I didn't think Madison would evoke such strong reactions. I love Madison or Maddie for short I would definitely prefer it to Violet. My taste is usually quite old fashioned. Violet is lovely but for me, it reminds me of those awful sweets!

Not Madison, it is very dated.

Violet is beautiful, but Madeleine is even better.

Violet is a beautiful name but was vetoed by my DH for, apparently, "sounding like 'violent'." Pah! It's a gorgeous name, go with it.

Madeleine is lovely too. You were never going to get Madison past the MN jury, tho...!

Violet is pretty. As is Rose. Madison calls to mind a boxing stadium.
