Hello,

I'm desperate to find a middle name.

Thoughts on Maddie Rose?

I think Rose works but middle names are rarely used.

Agree with Madeline rather than Maddie though.

Okay, well, that's just your opinion, you have no idea how my daughter will feel about her name.

Surname is Haywood.

When I saw your thread title I thought of Maddie Rose straight away!

I do think it would be good to put Madeleine on the birth certificate, although not if you really dislike it obviously.

One surname or two, and how many syllables?

Maddie's awful- she wont thank you for having no options that don't mean 'insane' when she's older.

I don't really like Madeleine! I much prefer Maddie.

Thanks for the suggestions Smile

Madeleine Rose is much nicer. You can still use Maddie for short and when she's older, she has the option to use Madeleine.

Depending on surname, I tend to think three syllable middle names work well with Maddie/Holly/Rosie etc. So Maddie Elizabeth, or Maddie Victoria?

Maddie Rose is nice though if you're not a fan of a long middle name, or it goes brilliantly with your surname.
