Hi All, I am pregnant and due twins on 12th Dec 08, I am struggling with names and if I have a girl, I would really love to call her Maddie Jane but am worried as alot of people have said I shouldn't have the name Maddie because of Madeleine dissapearing, what do you think? is it a bad omen?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Nothing wrong or bad omenish about calling her Maddie. If it's the name you love use it! After all people haven't stopped using Jessica or Holly or Jamie etc

I think it will mean that the name is left aside for a few years, before it creeps back again.

But in 15 yrs time, nobody will think instantly of Madeleine McCann, and your Madeleine will have a classic but unusual name.

Maddie is a lovely name, don't worry about the connections. Didn't stop babies being called Fred (west)or Jack (ripper)did it?
Rubbish examples I grant you.

Congratulations BTW.
