Brooklyn or Madison?

[IamJennie]

We need a name that's related to New York. These are our favourite 2 which 1 would you pick? Brooklyn or Madison?

Chelsea

Lorimer

Pearl

Perry

Caroll

Waverley

Lenox

Gracie

Or how about Hattie short for manhattan.

Or Annie from Annie Hall

Ellis is cute, and i like the link to Ellis Island - a fresh start and a new life full of hope for so many people. I think it could work for a girl.

Chelsea and Madison are also perfectly lovely IMO. I also quite like Waverley, as in the Waverley Inn. In the US you won't get such a closed minded response to unusual names.

No Navy, she wants the baby that she gave birth to, to have a name that represents where she was born.

Going for the name of the hospital she was born in could be an option?

I know a guy that's called Brigham because of that... and a girl that's called Bethesda...

I prefer Brooklyn out of the two as I'm not keen on Maddie

Madison. I do quite like Brooklyn too!

Ellis is much nicer than Brooklyn or madison imo. It's definitely a girls name. Brooklyn is not a girls name?!

I would go for Brooklyn. I can't believe some of the suggestions here. Op is coming with brooklyn or madison and is getting suggestions like Carol or Waverley

ask her birth mothers favourite

I was just going to say I like Maddison, but you said over page ,'it won't be Maddison?'

Maddison or Brooklyn? Erm No...Carol/Waverley you gotta laugh.

Madison is nice, is more classic and will not date in the same way Brooklyn will, I think. It's a lovely gesture you're making.

Madison is a lovely name Op!
Congratulations

Could you go with Brooke as first name, Lynn as middle name? Madison is better than Brooklyn, if it is one of those two.

The spelling.

They're both fairly dreadful but go for Madison so that at least you can call her Maddie.

Cornflower that's very unpleasant.

Newday Thanks. I'm going crossed eyed on the mulled wine

That's so rude.

Madison! Much nicer. Congratulations!

What a lovely way to honour the birth mother! Agree with Madison / Maddie. Also agree that Americans seem to be less opinionated about what names other people give to their children. I have family in America with some very unusual (to British ears) names but they suit them down to a T and no-one over there bats an eyelid at them. Congratulations on your little girl 😊

I like Maddie so Madison.

Madison is the best of the two though not keen on either
