Wanted thoughts on this name- I loved the french books in childhood.
My friend insists she sees me with a Matilda but that’s quite popular and I’d prefer a name where they are the only one in the class.
My main concern is that despite the different spelling/pronunciation it might draw references to McCann.

I’m not pregnant yet btw, I’m TTC and a bit disappointed it didn’t happen this month so I’m thinking about baby names trying to keep my own morale up that it’s going to happen.

Nah, it's been ages since the McCanns lost Maddie. I like it, but would you pronounce it Mad-e-line or Mad-e-lin?

I prefer Mad-e-line. I think the McCann's kid was a Mad-e-lin?
