My friends are having a girl and like Madeleine, nn Maddie, and asked our opinion.

I love it, but they're worried about its usability because of mm. I said I could start a thread about it..

Their surname starts with Mc too mcF-

Opinions?

I think they might have to steel themselves for some comments but personally I would go for it if I liked the name.

I would use Maddie/Madeleine happily. But not with a Mc surname.

Of course they can. To suggest that they shouldn't is very silly. I wouldn't automatically think of Madeline McCann if I met a Maddie McF........

I wouldn't because of the Mc but if DS was a DD, she would have been Matilda with Maddie for short.

Another no from me, despite the fact that it's a name I love - the sound, the spelling, the way it writes etc, but I simply can't move past MM.

I know a lot of Maddies, so to me, it wouldn't be an issue.

I wouldn't, especially with the McSurname.
