DD is almost 6 weeks - no one likes our chosen name... Haven't registered her yet! I just don't know what to do :( there are lots of threads on the name, but they always get negative replies, so I doubt they end up using it. I love it... My mum isn't keen, but she keeps telling me to use it (in all fairness, she has always said that I should go with what I love) but DP's family hate it. Everyone on here hates it and say that they judge people with that name, so it puts me off. Grace would be the middle name and it's just unfortunate that it's now classed as a filler middle name (I've always loved Grace) but DP doesn't like it, so he agreed to have it for the middle. I suppose it just makes it even worse as it's a known middle name for the name.

I'm literally getting myself so upset over it.

I'm Scottish so Madison and MAdeline are always a no from me as being called "maddie" means you are nuts! Like-

She's a pure maddie, a right headcase.

I like Madison. I've never met one in this country.

That name is fine!

Not my type of name but not outlandish & totally inoffensive! Go for it if you love it, youlll regret changing it otherwise

Madison is a lovely name! I know an 18 month old Madison - she gets Maddie. If anyone has an issue its their problem. I think it is lovely and if you like it then stick to your guns.
P.s congratulations on your little girl!

You have to tell us what the name is ...

Although I would say it's your child and it's your decision - go with your heart!

Everyone is just going to slate it, like on all the other threads Sad so don't really see the point in saying it, but Madison.

They don't need to like it. If you like it then that's fine.

What's the name?
