Usually keep names I like to myself, told family these two last night and remembered why I do that 😂
Interested in what other people think of these names now and any other girl suggestions?..

Not keen on Madison, sorry. Elsie is OK, prefer Elsa or Elise.

I don't mind Madison but I prefer Madeline
Quite like Elsie too but very popular at the moment

Madison's too American for me
Elsie is very popular at the moment I know 3 babies born in last year with the name

I love Madeline but can't help but think of Madeline McCann when I hear it, is that stupid?
Have had Madison all along, just the last week or two feel ive gone off it. Mum made me think I was crazy for suggesting Elsie! Said it's an old woman name but I think it's cute

Elsa is only number 300 or so in the chart but Elsie is now top 50.

Madison sounds too American for me and is quite a different style to Elsie?

I quite like Madison. A strong sounding name, but still feminine.

Elsie, not so much. You'll also likely be in a sea of little Elsas after Frozen (human AND animal). So for that reason alone I would avoid it.

I prefer Madeleine or Madeline to Madison, but I don't dislike Madison. Ultimately, all of those names will be shortened to Maddie anyway.

I like Elsie, also. Smile
