Maddie or Madison?

We absolutely love Maddie.
We like Madison.
We dislike Madeleine.

Should we put Maddie or Madison on the BC? She'll be known as Maddie.

Madeleine is a definite no.

I'd put Madison on the BC.

Maddison on the birth certificate.

I had a student who always went by a more unusual shortened variation. Her name on the register was the short version but I used to always get confused when I'd get official things to pass to 'fullname' because it wasn't really used.
Her mum said it gave her options as an adult.

Madison definitely

ItsJustJulia · 10/06/2017 22:30

I don't think we would go for the Maddison spelling. It just feels like someone spelling Brooklyn as Brooklynn, etc.

Yes, Madison.

MaisyPops · 10/06/2017 22:38

Either spelling. I've seen both and don't know what the standard one is. Gut instinct is to go with the standard one.

Madison on the BC, then Maddie for short.

Sophronia · 10/06/2017 22:39

Madison on the BC. Really dislike the Maddison spelling.

Madison sounds masculine to me (and is a US city). If you love Maddie,l I'd just use that.

SuperBeagle · 10/06/2017 23:33

Madison.

OwlsinTowls · 11/06/2017 01:40

Madison nn Maddie

Lovely name, my little girl is Madison but usually called Maddy. I think it's nice to have options as they get older.

harderandharder2breathe · 11/06/2017 12:10

Madison officially, known as Maddie

daisypond · 11/06/2017 12:15

Definitely put the longer version on the BC. Madison.

RuthB4 · 11/06/2017 16:33

I'd put Madison on the bc.

Coey2016 · 11/06/2017 19:26

Madison. I really like it

I am totally utterly biased but go for Madison. Madison is on my birth certificate but I am pretty much exclusively known as Maddy or, usually, Mads.
