Madison is terribly dated and a bit tacky, sorry.

Madeleine is elegant and beautiful, however you spell it.

Madison is this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Madison
Madeleine is lovely.

Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting was a Maddie - Madelyn iirc. I like that spelling (and feel old as I've just asked dsd, 23, if I'm right and she has no idea what I'm talking about).

Madison is tacky, IMO.

BeefLasagneForMyTea · 22/03/2016 19:07

I really like Madison. I love Maddie.

LightTurquoise · 22/03/2016 19:12

I agree, Madelyn is my favourite spelling

I can vouch for it - always been complimented on it being unusual & pretty, both Madison and Maddy. Then again I'm lucky to be an adult Madison, named before it really took off. If I wasn't already a Maddy, a future daughter would be Madelyn - beautiful beautiful name.

I don't think Madison is that bad. Didn't it become popular after the film Splash?

MadameDePompom · 23/03/2016 12:31

I see aumtmnrose has already mentioned Splash! Smile

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 23/03/2016 12:40

Madison is 'son of maud'

So I think of it as a boy name.

I love maddie and Madeleine.

MadameDePompom · 23/03/2016 12:42

I feel sorry for any boy called Madison.

Tokelau · 23/03/2016 12:44

I don't really like it.

I know someone who called their son Madison, but it seems more of a girl's name to me.

My eldest dd is called Maddison. Maddie as nn. I'd not met any before her and there are non that she knows. She's 14. I oly know of one other and that's a friend of my 7 year old dd.
