Addison for a baby girl? Thoughts

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Very popular in America. If you're in the UK then she will likely get mistaken for Maddison.

Whathewhatnow · 12/04/2020 11:59

Um... it's a disease. So no.

Arseit · 12/04/2020 12:02

And a taxi / car service - Addison Lee. So no.

allaboardthesinkingship · 12/04/2020 12:02

Love it

ofwarren · 12/04/2020 12:02

Addisons disease? No, not a good idea.

magicmallow · 12/04/2020 12:02

Just reminds me of Addison's disease

paradisefalls · 12/04/2020 12:02

I like it but then I like different names.

Methyl · 12/04/2020 12:03

Just makes me think she won't be able to make any cortisol. Sorry.

LadySlipper11 · 12/04/2020 12:07

I like it but it reminds me of the character in Grey's Anatomy. And she was called "Addy" for short which I really don't like.

20viona · 12/04/2020 12:08

I like it and I like addalyn

CollaborativeBee · 12/04/2020 12:08

No, It's a disease! Ending in 'son' is odd for a girl anyway. Strange name!

Adele Sunday. Adelaide Sunny? Adelaide Soleil
Just brainstorming.

MollyMossy · 12/04/2020 12:09

Prefer Adeline

helpmum2003 · 12/04/2020 12:09

It's a disease so no.

Adelaide?

bumblebeefairy · 12/04/2020 12:10

Agree, it's a disease. Sorry.

CollaborativeBee · 12/04/2020 12:12

Adina
Dena
Deenie

phoenixrosehere · 12/04/2020 12:12

I like it.

Different enough that there aren’t many with the same, but not too out there. 🙂

MrsJoshNavidi · 12/04/2020 12:12

No. Awful, and also a Male name ...son.

PaulinePetrovaPosey · 12/04/2020 12:13

Sounds horrible, and makes me think of taxis. Please don't.

Chirpychirpy3 · 12/04/2020 12:13

It’s a disease

phoenixrosehere · 12/04/2020 12:14

David is a syndrome yet there are many David’s in the UK. 🙄

Pamlaaaa · 12/04/2020 12:14

I immediately thought Addison disease

ilikebigbuttsandicannotlie · 12/04/2020 12:16

It also reminds me of the character from greys anatomy. I really like it Smile

SelfIsolationMeansMorePeppa · 12/04/2020 12:16

I like it but probably because of Addison in Greys Anatomy. I didnt realise it was a disease.

NannyR · 12/04/2020 12:19

Disease and surname are the first things that spring to mind. Addie is a nice nickname, there are lots of proper names that could be shortened to addie - adeline, adelaide, adele.

RoseMartha · 12/04/2020 12:21

Sorry dont like it. But if you do choose it
