We need a name that's related to New York. These are our favourite 2 Smile which 1 would you pick? Brooklyn or Madison?

I love the name Madison/Maddie

Congratulations.

You can shorten them both I like Maddy and Brooke.

Don't know if it's been said... Astoria ?

Storie / story for short

I quite like Madison. I think it's really sweet. Don't listen to other posters OP. They're allergic to anything not English.

Bibs2014 · 24/12/2016 10:06

Ah I think that's nice what you're doing Smile

I like Madison. I like Brooke but not Brooklyn.

I love the PPs idea of Macy too!

If it's going to be a middle name, why not choose something really New York which isn't necessarily a name e.g. Gramercy or how about macy etc, having a cool ny middle name would be far nicer.

I'm a Madison nn Maddy. Only ever had compliments on my name :)

Love Brooklyn too :)

TheTantrumCometh · 24/12/2016 09:31

I prefer Madison to Brooklyn and I think it's a name that works well in both countries.

If DH likes Brooke as a nn, have you considered it as a first name and Lynn as a middle name perhaps Smile

ememem84 · 24/12/2016 09:14

neither would be my first choice but of the two I prefer Madison.

I think giving her a name as a nod to her birth mum is a lovely idea.

WineCheeseSleep · 24/12/2016 09:11

I really like Madison, to me Brooklyn sounds like a boys name due to Brooklyn Beckham. Madison reminds me of the film Splash which I loved.

raviolidreaming · 24/12/2016 07:49

I like Madison 😊

hoddtastic · 24/12/2016 00:05

really don't like either.

OliviaBensonOnAGoodDay · 23/12/2016 23:28

Sorry OP, I was one of the PP who suggested other New York related names. I get now that wasn't what you wanted. I'm sure either of the names you like will suit your beautiful baby perfectly.

LotsoNumbers · 23/12/2016 23:25

There are some right dickheads on mn at the moment

I'd go with Madison op it's a lovely name

Deadsouls · 23/12/2016 23:20

Madison is the best of the two though not keen on either

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/12/2016 23:19

I like Maddie so Madison.

Fernanie · 23/12/2016 23:14

What a lovely way to honour the birth mother! Agree with Madison / Maddie. Also agree that Americans seem to be less opinionated about what names other people give to their children. I have family in America with some very unusual (to British ears) names but they suit them down to a T and no-one over there bats an eyelid at them. Congratulations on your little girl 😊

Horseshoe1 · 23/12/2016 23:12

Madison! Much nicer. Congratulations!

1horatio · 23/12/2016 23:03

That's so rude.

MissKG · 23/12/2016 23:02

Newday Thanks. I'm going crossed eyed on the mulled wine Grin

MissKG · 23/12/2016 23:01

Cornflower that's very unpleasant.

cornflowerblu · 23/12/2016 22:47

They're both fairly dreadful but go for Madison so that at least you can call her Maddie.
