Madeleine or Mandy?

I really like girls names beginning with M and have that ‘d’ sound in them, I think they sound strong. So if you have any other suggestions too?

Madeleine is one of my favourite names.

Forgot about the 'd' Blush

I really like Mandy!

In French Madeleine sounds beautiful. In English it doesn't imo.

Mandy, Melinda, Miranda are all much nicer with an English accent.

Where I live, there are some lovely girls' names beginning with M. Some of the pronunciations aren't obvious for English speakers though.

Manca (said Mant sa)
Mojca (Moyt sa)
Majda (My da)
Maja (Maia/ Maya)
Mateja (Mateya)

Madeleine is a lovely name.

daisypond · 23/05/2019 09:57

Not quite starting with M but related to Mandy - Amanda, Amandine. Or names like Melody.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/05/2019 11:48

Mandy but Amanda on her BC.
Yes it's dated but, so what. Dated is cool. At least she'll more than likely be the only one in her class

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/05/2019 11:50

Meredith. Magdalene. Madison. Matilda. Miranda. Melody.

kaytee87 · 23/05/2019 12:13

I hate Mandy, sorry op.

Melody is nicer

Sorry, I didn't read the OP properly - none of those names have a D sound! All lovely names though.

Whoops75 · 23/05/2019 13:00

Love Madeleine

Mandy is sweet too

Don’t like any of the other suggested names as much. Stuck to your own ideas op

Bouncingbelle · 23/05/2019 13:45

Love Madeleine. What about Mairead? (Irish name pronounced Ma-raid).

PorridgeLove · 23/05/2019 14:28

Prefer Madeleine. I also love the name Elodie (better than Melody imo).

MrsBertBibby · 23/05/2019 14:30

Madella

MrsBertBibby · 23/05/2019 14:32

Mandy is not a proper name, and it's not that nice!

fruitbrewhaha · 23/05/2019 14:38

Marigold
