Can the name Madeleine still be used or does everyone immediately think of Madeleine McCann?

Just that really.

Of course it can be used. It's a nice name.

I don't know why anyone would automatically think of her, it's never been an unusual name (it's nice though)

@plumduck is right. It's whether you think that. My DD was named that 16 years ago & when she was under 3, I got that question occasionally - to which the answer was a firm "No - she was born before MM disappeared." Not heard it for about a decade.

It's a nice name. I think the very fact you asked the question shows that you think of Madeleine McCann.

Yes
it’s a beautiful name

I’ll ask my DD Madeleine, who is 26 and never once been mistaken for Madeleine McCann.
