ove the name Maddie but not sure on Madeline, what else could Maddie be short for if we chose it as a nickname? Is Maddox a boys name?

The only Maddie I know is short for Maddelena. Is that sufficiently different?

Magdalen

Another vote for just calling her Maddie.

SueGeneris · 07/10/2016 23:50

I know a Madora. Always thought that was nice.

Madeleine, Madina, Madison, Madiyah.

I agree that you can just register her as Maddie, if that's the name you like and will call her anyway. Smile

Oh for gods sake autocorrect is a real bitch. The Maddie I know is called Madison

TwoKidsAndCounting · 07/10/2016 23:44

Madison, is always shortened to Maddox

If you love Maddie register her as just Maddie. My sister likes Max but didn't like any of the names it could be short for so he's Max on his birth certificate

Madison or Maddalena.

I know a Matilda who gets Mattie (pronounced Maddie).

At a stretch, I suppose you could use Magdalene or Magdalena, although they'd more likely be called Magda for short.

Maddox is 100% boy.

I know a Maddie here in Ireland whose full name is Mairéad - that might not be usable if you've no Irish heritage though :D

Matilda or Madison.

I love the nn Maddie, but it rhymes with a nickname my family use for me and a nickname my DH's friends use for him, so we'd be ridiculous if we used it!

I think Matilda nn Maddie is lovely :)

I quite like Madrigal, there was one in a book I liked as a teenager.

rowtunda · 04/06/2013 10:44

Maddie - fine for a child but not an adult. I'm a Madeleine and I was never a Maddie!

Madelief is dutch for Daisy.

Maddie, to me, is someone who is Mad.

However, the full name Madeleine is very pretty.
