Expecting DC2, have no idea for boys names, but for a girl, I would really like Madeleine, however I'm iffy about the McCann association, wouldn't like it to be the first thing people think of when they hear the name. So I'm looking for alternatives, any suggestions for me ?

I think it is absolutely fine to use madeleine (unless your surname is very similar to McCann). I know 3, 2 born before her disappearance and 1 born afterwards and I don't think there have been any issues. No different to using Holly or Jessica.

Owner of a Madeleine here. There is no McCann association at all. Go for it.
