Love it! DH exercised his veto so I wasn't allowed to name DD Madison (or Kennedy, that's my other dream name for girls)

Really don't like it (sorry). I really don't like Madeleine either though, fwiw.

Seems a bit dated now. Love Maddie though.

I don't like it. Sounds too american and tacky to my ears.

Interestingly, it never existed before the mermaid in Splash. Who was found wandering on madison avenue.

But the film was so popular it became a name in its own right.
