What are your thoughts on this girls name? With the diminutive Maddy.

It's a trailer park name.

HeronLanyon · 31/08/2019 14:34

I used the ‘c’ word Apols all.

HeronLanyon · 31/08/2019 14:33

As in Wisconsin, with an extra random d thrown in ? Personally i would hear it and think a bit naff/common - sorry but have to be honest. If you are American it’s slightly different.
Love maddy. Love Madeleine.
Maddison is just naff.
Your D.C. your choice. Congrats op.

I dislike Madison/Maddison/Madeleine as they start with Mad!

Rainatnight · 31/08/2019 14:18

If you must, but please, for the love of God, not with two ds.

peachypetite · 31/08/2019 14:17

Why the extra d?
I think it’s dated.

TheYeaSayer · 31/08/2019 14:14

If you do go with it, at least spell it correctly!

KezzabellaB · 30/08/2019 20:37

I like it!

OooErMissus · 30/08/2019 20:18

Very 10 years ago.

And yes, why two DDs?

AverageMummy · 30/08/2019 19:46

Awful - similar to Jayden & co to me
But I’m just one internet stranger - you’ll never get a name everyone likes

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 30/08/2019 19:22

It immediately makes me think of the US site for people who want to cheat on their partners - Ashley Madison. Sorry.

DerbyshireGirly · 30/08/2019 19:17

Dated, American and a bit common. Sorry.

Has anyone said the ‘c’ word yet? I’ve heard worse but it is similar to Brittany, Courtney etc.

DelphiniumBlue · 30/08/2019 18:18

Horrible. Is an American spoilt brat name.
Maddie is ok- Madeleine.

BarkandCheese · 30/08/2019 18:15

I don’t like it, it seems really odd to me to give a girl a name ending in son.

Shantotto · 30/08/2019 18:12

Madison is ok but whyyyyyyy two D’s?!!

Mumshappy · 30/08/2019 18:12

Don't like it. Madeline is lovely nn maddie.

percheron67 · 30/08/2019 18:11

Dreadful American name. Bad luck if your surname is Square.

PancakeAndKeith · 30/08/2019 18:10

It’s a bit 90s.

FizzBuzzBangWoof · 30/08/2019 18:09

I'm much prefer Madeline/Madeleine

Its not awful or anything but not the style of name which I like and I'm not keen on your spelling either (better with 1 d IMHO)

Peachbubble · 30/08/2019 18:09

Seemed to be very popular about 10 years ago. I don't like it personally.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 30/08/2019 18:07

Baddison!

user1493494961 · 30/08/2019 18:05

Madeleine shortened to Maddie is quite classy. Unfortunately, Madison isn't.

Morado · 30/08/2019 17:45

I don't mind it but I've just finished Orange is the new black and it reminds me of the character 'Baddison'.
