Out of interest (only ttc) but do you think its acceptable/"allowed" to use the name Maddeleine nowadays with Maddeleine Mc Canns disappearance?

I love the name but worry that it has negative connotations and that its a bit like taking her name?

In my real life, people are saying its not really acceptable to use it.

Fine to use the name - but spell it properly. With one D.

I think you know some odd people IRL. A name is a name. It doesn't belong to anyone in particular.

I dunno, I'd guess if you were thinking of their feelings the McCanns wouldn't like it if there would be no more Maddies for years to come because of what happened to theirs.

I think it is a pretty name and quite acceptable. I would spell it with one d.

Tricky one. My DD is Madeleine and I sometimes feel a bit awkard if I call her name in public.
