It's definitely a stripper name in the US. Sorry. I don't know any Madisons in the UK.

I don't really like it, it's a bit chavvy (sorry but it is) and it's also quite dated it now. It was very faddy in the nineties and noughties as I remember, then sort of dropped off a cliff in popularity as these modern names tend to do after about ten years and become a bit naff.

If you like Maddie then Madeleine is much classier.

I much much prefer Madeleine for the nn Maddie.

Madison is a bit 90s to me.

WhittlingIhopMonkey · 22/03/2016 05:44

Not a fan. I think its getting quite common and i personally associate it with kids that are a bit rough. And Maddie is worse again .

I like it, although I prefer Madeleine. Does make me think of Madison the mermaid though.

NadiaWadia · 22/03/2016 04:24

It's OK but Madeleine is much classier and absolutely beautiful.

Floggingmolly · 21/03/2016 20:55

Yes, I like it. Much nicer than Madeleine.

I like it, it's different but not "try too hard"!

Dislike Madison but Madeline is nice.

My DD is a Madeleine nn Maddie. I think it is a lovely name (obvs!) I chose it because it is beautiful and traditional and not too common.

Madison also isn't that common and is also nice (IMO)
I would say it is trendy and modern but still girly.

mrsschu · 21/03/2016 18:23

Not keen but I quite like Madeleine.

LightTurquoise · 21/03/2016 17:25

I really like it. I also like Madeleine (or any other spelling) Smile

Maddie makes me think of someone mad, sorry.
