Which suits her better? 2 names!

We had a girl (we didn't know the sex!) and have 2 names. Madison and Scarlet. We know that Maddison and Scarlett are more popular, but I do prefer the original spelling of Madison and the colour spelling of Scarlet.

Which suits her better? Surname is double-barrelled.

Thanks!

She is absolutely beautiful Flowers She looks just like a Scarlet to me.

SumAndSubstance · 17/06/2017 20:05

Definitely Scarlet. I don't think it matters that you have a noun in your surname as I gather it is not Pimpernel (not a nature word).
She is absolutely beautiful, OP

marmitecrumpets · 17/06/2017 19:53

She looks like a Madison. She's gorgeous. Congratulations!

EccentricPickle · 17/06/2017 19:26

Scarlet goes way better with Juliana than Maddison!

Maddison has too many syllables to flow with it.

blahthisistoohard · 16/06/2017 23:33

So beautiful, congratulations!

Madison nn Maddie I think really suits her. Please not another Scarlet, so many around at the moment and it does sound quite tacky, nn 'scar' puts me off completely

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 16/06/2017 23:19

Scarlet

LittlePrawn1 · 16/06/2017 23:18

Madison id say

candlelit35 · 16/06/2017 23:14

Scarlet 100%. She's fantastic x

Zoflorabore · 16/06/2017 23:12

Similar not familiar :)

Zoflorabore · 16/06/2017 23:12

My poor ds has a double barrelled name which makes him sound familiar to Olivia Newton John! Blush oops.

Seriously though, names tend to flow off the tongue when used to them, i vote Scarlet or even Charlotte just to confuse things a bit!

Op she is an absolute beauty, well done Flowers

Llamacorn · 16/06/2017 23:10

I think Scarlet too, she is beautiful congratulations!

(Although when I saw her picture before reading the names I thought she looked like an Elodie for some weird reason, that's no help whatsoever I know)

Thank you all! We are doing fab. I don't think having a double-barrelled surname matters (it is shorter than some surnames!)

My only issue with Scarlet is one of the surnames is something like Rivers, Meadows, etc. so Madison may actually go better.

FreckledFrog · 16/06/2017 22:24

Oh my goodness GORGEOUS GIRL. I agree with PP if the surname is double barrelled I'd go Scarlet

paddypants13 · 16/06/2017 22:17

Squee! She is adorable. Congratulations! She looks like a Scarlet to me. Flowers

EccentricPickle · 16/06/2017 21:50

Definitely Scarlet!

She's stunningly beautiful - look at those little rosebud lips! Aw. I love her elephant outfit too, it's very cute.

Congratulations Flowers.

PuppyPickler · 16/06/2017 21:46

What a gorgeous little girl with the most perfect shaped lips. I think Scarlet.

teatwosugarspls · 16/06/2017 21:45

She's beautiful!

She looks like Scarlet to me :)

Hope your both doing well x

Sophronia · 16/06/2017 21:44

Scarlet

RaeSkywalker · 16/06/2017 21:43

I think she's a Madison.

She's gorgeous OP. Hope you're both doing well.

BlondeB83 · 16/06/2017 21:40

I've never seen it spelt Maddison - looks wrong to me!

Scarlet is a much nicer name.

OwlsinTowls · 16/06/2017 21:37

Looks like a Scarlet to me.

Bloomed · 16/06/2017 21:37

Scarlet is amazing

Flibbertyflap · 16/06/2017 21:30

She is one beautiful little girl, congrats!

Definately a Scarlet id say

joannegrady90 · 16/06/2017 21:28
