We already have twin boys Declan Lennox Ambrose and Logan Conor Emerson

Thanks for any help! :)

Sorry, I don't really like any of those combinations OP. Out of them all, I would say that I dislike Madison Kendall Rain and Madison Lexi Sloane the least. Madison Katarina/Katharine Rain and Madison Alexandra Sloane are much more pretty/elegant/classy however. :)

Sophronia · 29/05/2018 06:12

Sorry, I don’t like any of them either. :/

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 06:22

Ann/Anne

I don't really like any of them either.

The one I dislike least is Madison Kendall Rain, though I would spell Rain 'Raine' instead.

Since you ask for suggestions, how about:
Madison Kendall Elizabeth
Madison Kendall Isobel
Madison Kendall Alexandra
Madison Kendall Violet
Madison Kendall Winter
Madison Kendall Orla (an Irish name since your boys have Irish names)

Madison Zoe Rain
Madison Iris Rain
Madison Estelle Rain
Madison Ivy Rain
Madison Willow Rain
Madison Ashling Rain (another Irish name)

As Madison a long name, middle name would maybe be short to balance. Dgd has long first name short second name(Ann) and long last name. You don't have to have a middle name they never get used anyway.

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 06:35

Also bear in mind Madison will get shortened to Maddie/Maddy ( I know from experience!)

Flamingosnbears · 29/05/2018 09:40

Madison Lexi Sloane is my favourite from your list it has edge above the rest.

Madison Estelle
Madison Willa Rose

Sorry, OP but I really don't like any of those combinations either. Are you dead set on baby having two middle names? Just seems like such a mouthful as the first name is already quite long. If pushed I'd say Madison Kendall Rain is probably the one I dislike the least.

Glumglowworm · 29/05/2018 10:59

Madison and Mackenzie are sisters from Dance Moms, Kendall is also from the same show. They’re all big on social media type stuff.

All your choices are very American sounding

I would use Madison Lexi out of your list, but not a fan of Sloan

MikeUniformMike · 29/05/2018 14:13

Another who doesn't like any of them. Madison is a surname and many of the middle names are surnames too.

Pemba · 29/05/2018 14:50

Madison is OK, I suppose but Madeleine is so much nicer and classier. Your middle name choices are all bad, IMO, I wouldn't know where to start.

Popcorn27 · 29/05/2018 17:11

Maybe just Madison Grey or Madison Rain:)

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 19:06

Since when is Madison a surname?

MikeUniformMike · 29/05/2018 19:08

Who do you think Madison Avenue was named after?

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 19:10

A name, any name can be a first or last name there is no strict code surely? Fitzwilliam used to be a surname but i know someone who has that as a first name! And as for some of the modern names just about anything goes. ( I pity some of the dcs with some of the ridiculus names nowadays)

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 19:11

I'm not thick mike

MikeUniformMike · 29/05/2018 19:11

President Madison. It's been a surname since at least the 17th century.

HKW81 · 29/05/2018 19:12

We have a teenage family member whose is Madison Bliss. She is absolutely gorgeous and her dad and younger sister often call her Bliss as she is so lovely! I think they go together well (obviously they are both her middle names but I still like it!)

DramaAlpaca · 29/05/2018 19:12

I'm sorry, I really don't like any of them.

I'd go for traditional names in the middle instead, probably with one Irish name like the boys. I like the boys' names, btw.

Your list seems to be made up of lots of surnames, which I don't like on girls.

Sloane is a particularly ugly name. I don't see the appeal at all.

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 19:13

A name does not make you classier, your personality does that.

photographyaddict · 29/05/2018 19:14

I’m going to go against the grain here but I adore Madison Hendrix Rain 😍

TroubledLichen · 29/05/2018 19:14

Are you a Grey’s anatomy fan OP? Weren’t Lexi and Sloane the couple that died in that OTT plane crash season finale?! And you have Grey on the list too!

I actually quite like Madison but can’t say I’m wild about your middle names.

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 19:15

Yep mike but we are talking today not 17th century.

Sostenueto · 29/05/2018 19:16

You need a less unusual name in the middle. You have Madison as the main name no need to overshadow it with other unusual names.
