Yes! love it.

DontDeadOpenInside · 23/03/2016 12:53

My eldest dd is called Maddison. Maddie as nn. I'd not met any before her and there are non that she knows. She's 14. I oly know of one other and that's a friend of my 7 year old dd.

I don't really like it.

I know someone who called their son Madison, but it seems more of a girl's name to me.

MadameDePompom · 23/03/2016 12:42

I feel sorry for any boy called Madison.

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 23/03/2016 12:40

Madison is 'son of maud'

So I think of it as a boy name.

I love maddie and Madeleine.

MadameDePompom · 23/03/2016 12:31

I see aumtmnrose has already mentioned Splash! Smile

MadameDePompom · 23/03/2016 12:30

I don't think Madison is that bad. Didn't it become popular after the film Splash?

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 22/03/2016 23:33

I can vouch for it - always been complimented on it being unusual & pretty, both Madison and Maddy. Then again I'm lucky to be an adult Madison, named before it really took off. If I wasn't already a Maddy, a future daughter would be Madelyn - beautiful beautiful name.

LightTurquoise · 22/03/2016 19:12

I agree, Madelyn is my favourite spelling

BeefLasagneForMyTea · 22/03/2016 19:07

I really like Madison. I love Maddie.

MamaLazarou · 22/03/2016 19:01

Madison is tacky, IMO.

mrssmith79 · 22/03/2016 17:20

Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting was a Maddie - Madelyn iirc. I like that spelling (and feel old as I've just asked dsd, 23, if I'm right and she has no idea what I'm talking about).

Madison is this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Madison
Madeleine is lovely.

KoalaDownUnder · 22/03/2016 11:06

Madison is terribly dated and a bit tacky, sorry.

Madeleine is elegant and beautiful, however you spell it.

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 22/03/2016 10:17

I'm just not keen on surname-names and place-names - I know it's not necessarily logical and there's no rationale for it particularly, but names I dislike tend to fall into that category. Unless they fall into other categories Wink

But I also think Madison is actually already a bit dated.

LightTurquoise · 22/03/2016 09:43

I find that people on Mumsnet tend to always like the original - they like the original Irish names, French names, etc.

In day to day life, people go for the most common/English alternative, in my area.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/03/2016 08:29

Well everyone on this thread has spelled it Madeleine (including my phone) so people will misspell it regularly

LightTurquoise · 22/03/2016 08:13

FYI, OP - I prefer the Madeline spelling

LightTurquoise · 22/03/2016 08:08

My niece is Madeleine and it always gets Madeline - so that isn't true. Madeline is the 'English Alternative'

BitOutOfPractice · 22/03/2016 07:52

If you use madeline it'll be constantly misspelled

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 22/03/2016 06:56

Don't like at all, but Madeleine/ Magdalen is nice.

happystory · 22/03/2016 06:56

It was a nightclub I used to go to in the Eighties

LaceyLee · 22/03/2016 06:55

I hate it. Will be very dated in 10 years. Madeleine is nice though, or Megan, Polly, Libby etc
