Madeleine is a beautiful name.

I know a Madeline who has a sister called Marguerite (which is equally lovely, IMO)

I also know an adult Madeleine whose sister is called Alexis.

Sophie would be lovely.

Or for a boy, Alex.

JeanChappa · 10/10/2014 22:57

Thanks TobyLerone, Marguerite is lovely. But our surname begins with M and I don't want to come over all Kardashian so would really like to avoid another M name! Shame as I love quite a few... Margot, Mariella. We have an Alexander in the family already so that rules out Alexis. Thank you though, some lovely suggestions. Smile

Namechanged for this as risk outing myself... But my sister is Madeleine and I am Isabelle (we're adults!)

Mrsgrumble · 10/10/2014 23:03

Eloise ? I think that would be gorgeous

Samuel for a boy

JeanChappa · 10/10/2014 23:08

I like Isabelle. And Eloise is lovely, good suggestion MrsGrumble! Does it sound a mouthful though? Madeleine and Eloise. Ugh, everything is a mouthful with Madeleine! Not sure about Samuel. Boys names are hard!

It's a little different, but I know a Magdalena whose sister is Anastasia.

I know a Madeleine and Francesca sister combo.

supermum54321 · 13/10/2014 07:55

I know a Madeleine whose brother's names are Henry (Harry) and Mark.

I also know another Madeleine whose siblings' names are Joesph and Alice.

JeanChappa · 13/10/2014 15:58

Some great suggestions here! I love Juliette, Handsup but really dislike Julie/Jules etc as a nn. Etta might be cute though. Having said that, Madeleine's name isn't shortened to Maddie that often. I've not heard of Trelise before but it sounds really pretty. What do your girls names get shortened to?

Francesca sounds great with Madeleine, that could be a winner!

So far for boys I'm liking Daniel, Oliver (although not liking the popularity of these), Edward and Edmund....how about Edgar?

Thanks for all your thoughts!

Madeleine and Juliette, Erica, Eloise.

Sebastian for a boy.

mathanxiety · 13/10/2014 20:45

I like Edgar. It would be quite unusual.

butterbeerfloat · 13/10/2014 20:50

Ohh I was going to say Madeleine and Maxwell or Madeleine and Michael but then noticed you said no M's Sad

Hmm Madeleine and Felicity? Then it could be Maddie and Flick, cuuute! Grin

butterbeerfloat · 13/10/2014 20:51

Oh Alexis is beautiful I'm seconding a vote for Alex/Alexis

PragmaticWench · 15/10/2014 15:34

Genevieve or Harriet.

Sebastian or Rufus.

The two I know have sisters called Matilda (Tilly) and Charlotte (Lottie)

As an aside, I have an Edgar and he is adorable. :-) Only ever had nice comments too. It's a really good, strong name. Lots of nickname options too...

I know two, their siblings are Tabitha and Lucas.
