What are your opinions on Madeleine Roxanna?

[NauticalNat]

We have almost decided on Madeleine Roxanna, but is too much? She would be a Maddy and I know there's loads, but there isn't any around where I live! LN is Stevens :)

Not keen on roxanna at all but Madeleine is lovely.

Is Madeleine Rosanna better? I think I might prefer that!

Madeleine Rosanna is lovely.

Rosanna is much nicer!

I love Madeleine Rosanna!

Roxanna, however, seems too modern for Madeleine.

I prefer Roxane to Roxanna. Rosanna is lovely, so is Madeleine.

We did also think about Gabriella Roxanne/Rosanne, but think Madeleine Rosanna is probably going to win now :)

I think Madeleine needs a short mn personally.

Madeleine Rose
Madeleine Joy
Madeleine Kate
Madeleine Ruth
Madeleine Eve
Madeleine Jane

Yes, that was my worry, I do love Rose and Kate :) I just thought it would be nice to have something a bit different in the middle

I think depends on the surname, if you have a single syllable surname Rosanna could work

LN is Stevens

I love both Madeleine & Rosanna. And I wouldn't say they didn't go. You have a good uncumbersome surname so could probably get away with it.

(My family surname is long with loads of syllables and 'n's so all the Anna/Hannah names were ruled out along with any that were too long so probably projecting a bit!)

Madeleine Rosanna is lovely. I much prefer Rosanna to Roxanna.

I don't like Roxanna at all, Roseanna is much nicer.

Roseanna by a country mile

Madeleine Rosanna is very pretty and romantic sounding.

Roxanna is a no for my but Madeleine Rosanna is gorgeous!! They are two of my favourite names.

It does sound a bit much but it doesn't really matter as it's a middle name so will probably rarely, if ever, be used. I love Rosanna, I'd actually use it instead of Madeleine as a first name (sorry I know that's not what you asked!).

Really don't like Roxanna - think Rosanna is much better

Madeleine Rosanna is very nice.

Dislike Roxanna, sounds harsh.

I am a Madeleine and have a four syllable middle name. my name doesn't fit on forms and is a proper mouthful. go for a short middle name! Rose is beautiful.

also be prepared that nobody will spell Madeleine correctly, ever. I have actually had people tell me I have the spelling wrong. additionally, I am MadelAINE out loud and again, people insist I am saying it wrong and call me MadelINN. which is frustrating.

that said, I love my name and there aren't many of us so go for it!

Madeleine Rosanna is lovely.

I agree.

One of my daughters has Rosanna as a first name, the other has Madeleine as a middle name- I think they are fantastic choices!

The pronunciation thing bugs me. Our daughter is Madeline (mad-a-lin) ie the English traditional spelling rather than the French Madeleine. We specifically chose that ending in the hope that it would avoid confusion and ensure the pronounciation was mad-a-lin ... like CatheRINE is pronounced cath-a-RIN not cath-a-RINE. But it wasn't that self-explanatory after all and we've heard several versions from people: Mad-a-lane, Mad-a-line and Mad-a-lean.
