Sister to Mads.

I have a daughter name Mads.

I need sister names!

We like Megs?

Any other ideas?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Mads? Is that short for something? Mads and Megs sound ridiculous, I would choose something else.

Her BC name is Madeira.

Megs would be Megan.

I do think Megs/Megan is a bit too popular though.

Mads is that a Danish name?

I think it's Danish for a boys name.

Mads and Megs - what would come next? Mogs?

I think it looks a bit daft but your choice.

Lærke

TheVirginQueen · 20/09/2016 22:20

oh. Right. Skim read

Thought you'd be pronouncing it Mess. Thought it was a boy.

i'll get my coat.

Buntysoven · 21/09/2016 00:42

I think it's fine. Love the name Megan

Tiggeryoubastard · 21/09/2016 01:11

They're individuals, not a matching set. Don't be a twat.

Waterlipe · 21/09/2016 01:14

Tigger, that's a bit harsh to the OP.

Megan and Madeira are not that similar.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 21/09/2016 07:39

I think they're way too matchy personally.

I am struggling to think of suggestions though!

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 21/09/2016 07:59

Bit too matchy.

I'm a Maddy nn Mads - my sister is a Tash if that's any use

Mimosa (Mim).
Melissa (Missy).

JudyCoolibar · 21/09/2016 08:16

I do agree that you need to name children as individuals, not to match each other.

CancellyMcChequeface · 21/09/2016 18:13

Margaret or Marjorie, known as Meg? You get the Meg nickname without using the very popular Megan.

Or Miriam (Mimi)?

MrsCaecilius · 21/09/2016 18:44

Feels too matchy to me.

minipie · 21/09/2016 18:51

Hmm Mads and Megs are too similar IMO.

Mads and Mimi? (Mimi could be all sorts of things on BC - Marianne, Miriam, Amina)

BikeRunSki · 21/09/2016 18:52

The Mads I know has sisters called Caz and Loz.
