Rhianydd is Welsh for Maiden, maybe that could work?

Madeleine is pretty.
Maiden is terrible.

GettingFiggyWithIt · 02/03/2015 09:16

Ah balls
Maidenhead...been done
MaidenChina...similar been done
Maid Marian...been done
Mädchen...been done (it is the German for 'girl' and not used as a name in German but derives from 'little maid')
Arrived too late. But if you are American, as they do surnames like Parker etc you might want to adopt Meaden....meaning: dragon-lady Wink
Cheyenne is pretty. So is Tiana. So is Sky. Maiden not so much but better than Madonna Madeline pretty.

Sorry joke thread.

SoonToBeSix · 02/03/2015 08:54

Please tell me this is a joke post op?

TinyMonkey · 02/03/2015 08:45

My daughter is named after my grandmother. It's a perfectly lovely name with several, equally lovely, shortenings. Unlikely to ever become so popular that there are five in her class at school, but I'm also reasonably sure it won't ever embarrass her or make her stand out for the wrong reasons.

VixxFace · 01/03/2015 23:05

Tiny monkey what are your already named children called???

Marcipex · 01/03/2015 21:43

Maidlin is Old English form of Madeline. Maidlin Rose is nice.

Pipbin · 01/03/2015 21:40

There used to be a removals company in Maidenhead called, yes you guessed it, Maidenhead Removals.

AKnickerfulOfMenace · 01/03/2015 21:36

Madchen translates as girl, not maiden.

LineRunner · 01/03/2015 21:32

Yes, Madeline is a great name.

coolaschmoola · 01/03/2015 21:29

As bad as it is it could get worse the older she gets....

Mrs Maiden? Contradiction in terms.

She marries Mr/Ms Head or Hood or Voyage....

Op this 'name' is an horrific thing to inflict on a child. You are essentially thinking of naming a child 'Virgin'. Do you WANT your child to have the piss taken out of her for the rest of her life?!

Seriously, get a grip.

AKnickerfulOfMenace · 01/03/2015 21:27

I wouldn't use Chastity either but there are traditional " virtue" names (Faith, Hope, Charity, Verity etc) and I assume it's one.

Madeline would be lovely, OP.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 01/03/2015 21:18

There's no point in criticising Tiana and Shyanne now though, is there? The OP's used them and would they really stand out that much in modern classrooms?
Maiden's different, the OP hasn't used it yet and it's NOT A NAME! OP, if you don't believe us, will you try something? Go out somewhere, introduce yourself to people as Maiden and see what reaction you get?

TinyMonkey · 01/03/2015 21:03

What's right with them? It's like a thread started by Katie Price.

Poor little blighters.

VixxFace · 01/03/2015 17:51

What is wrong with tianna and shyanne?

SoupDragon · 01/03/2015 17:51

but i love maiden and i dont think of sex , i think it sounds simialr to aiden etc kind of theme

Well, it rhymes with Aidan but that is where any similarity ends. And pretty much every single person on this thread thinks of sex - extrapolate that out to the population at large that your child is going to come into contact with.

Calling your child Maiden is a cruel thing to do. It is not you who has to live with the name, your poor child does.

Hmmm. Op has only ever made two posts, both starting threads that were never returned to. She has also added Maiden to the baby name finder.

I see that since 2013 about 6 boys have been named Tyrion. Before Game of Thrones that wasn't a name, now it is.
Trilby used to be a girls name before it became a type of hat.

I have to say though that I don't really like 'made up names'.

SouthernComforts · 01/03/2015 00:16

Is it too late to rethink all your childrens names OP?

Seekingtheanswers · 01/03/2015 00:11

I think the OP is on the wind-up too.

Still, I have learnt something - I have never heard a clothes horse referred to as a maiden before!

aliasjoey · 28/02/2015 23:49

Rose and Rosebud were apparently also Victorian nicknames for virginity.
