I love unusual (but still known and easily spelled) names

Madeleine Rochelle this one stood out for me.

I'd avoid naturey names - they are very "in"

Personally I’d avoid single syllables as it’s become such a cliche, particularly Rose, Grace, May, Rae, Hope and Joy

I would go with a short ish one as it's a fairly long for a first name (still lovely).

How about Fern or is there any family names that could work?

something shorter, one or two syllables works well, especially if your surname has one or two syllables. (I ignored this completely and used family names!!)

Madeline Joy, @redspottedmug , is beautiful!

Madeline Pearl is pretty too.
Madeline Grace
Madeline Wren
Madeline Ruth
Madeline June

or two syllables

Madeline Charlotte
Madeline Hazel
Madeline Beatrice

all pretty
