Maddie or Sabrina?

[Ommy]

Maddie would be the official name.

Can't decide!

Yes... Because she wants it has the official name. She has clearly thought about the other options and doesn't want them.

actually, I assume she'll be asked if it's short for Maddison (this spelling is now most popular) as this is the most popular 'Maddie' name

Apart from on this thread then, as everyone thought 'Madeleine'...

Yes, but Mumsnet would never speak of a name such as Madison/Maddison.

Oh right then.

Oh please Sabrina. It's lovely, and so much more interesting.

Ye-s and posters have advised OP it's a bad idea.

Maddie Albright, Secretary of State.

Lmao at all the people saying Madeleine, as if the OP wouldn't have already thought of it.

Tongue in cheek - of course we know the OP's thought of it (hence the wink after my post).

It's just that Maddie is not great.

I'm a Madeleine/Maddie. Be prepared for a lifetime of Mandy

Sabrina! Dd (due in Feb) is almost certainly going to be Sabrina. Dh thought of the name and now I just love it.

Sabrina is lovely.
Just Maddie - without it being short for anything - is not nice.

The Secretary of State is Madeleine Albright.

Someone's missed the point.

Sabrina

Sabrina.

I'd go for Maddie if it was a nickname for something.

Maddie (but with Madeleine or Madeline as the full version).

Surprised at the love for Sabrina, but over here in Germany it's one of the names that were in vogue in the 70s/80s and aren't yet due a revival, so that is probably influencing me.

Both of these are lovely but I think I prefer Sabrina.

Maddie
