Madison or Madelyn?

We will be using Maddie. We're not looking for opinions on Maddie :)

Also, we're not looking for opinions on the spelling of Madelyn (this is the most popular in the US - I'm not American, but I'm just saying that it's a well established spelling). We want it to be obvious about the pronunciation we would like - Madeleine seems to be Mad-eh-len and Madeline seems to be Mad-eh-line, so that's what we have decided :)

Anyway, should we go for Madison or Madelyn as the BC name?

Madelyn (though I only like it spelt Madeleine)

Madison, but dislike both. Madeleine is much nicer than both, IMO.

Madelyn

I prefer just Maddie, but of the two longer options I'd pick Madelyn. Madison is too surnamey/place-namey.

Madelyn

Madelyn, no question, good classic name, no associations with porn or shopping, pretty.
