Madison

Maddison

Me and my partner just can’t agree on which spelling of this name!

Madison

The spelling of the surname is Madison and it means 'son of Matthew'.

Madison
Doesn't look right with 2 d's

I wouldn't spell it any way because it's dreadful.

Madison but I've seen both in my time

Madison

Lovely name.
Maddison Brown is an Australian actress so maybe go with the two DD's?

There isn't any spelling of a name that means son of that can make it a girl's name

I prefer Maddison

One D!

Lovely name. 😍

I work with children and know two - both spell it Madison

Karren Brady spells her name with 2 'R's and it makes me itch every time I see it. I'm like 'nooooo, it's ONE 'R!'

Each to their own, but some names should only be spelt (spelled?) a certain way, and Madison is one of them. Just one D. Madison!

Madison. It's a surname. I don't like it as a girl's name but I suppose it's better than Trump or Bush.

😆 Imagine calling your kid any of those?!!

I have to say I do know more people with Madison as the first name though, than the surname! I know 3 girls/women called Madison. I don't know anyone with it as their surname. I am sure it is used as a surname, and I'm not doubting you. I have just never come across it myself.

There was a POTUS called James Madison.

To confuse matters there is also a footballer called James Maddison with two D's.

Madison I think is the more usual spelling in England

"Madison is also used as a given name. It has become popular for girls in recent decades. Its rise is generally attributed to the 1984 release of the film Splash.[1] From an almost non-existent given name before 1985,..."

The character in Splash, a mermaid, took the name after seeing a sign for Madison Avenue.

One D.

I'd consider it a dated name.

Agreed, one D, dated, strange meaning for a girl.

There isn't any spelling of a name that means son of that can make it a girl's name

No, the spelling doesn't make it a girl's name. Giving the name to a girl makes it a girl's name. It having originally been a boy's name, or you not liking it as a girl's name, does not mean it is not a girl's name now.

I prefer Madison, but the ones I know (3 in total) spell it Maddison.

One D. Otherwise it looks like Mad Dison.

Definitely Madison. Two DDs is over fussy

Madison, like the avenue, ie like the president.

It's a surname though and I'm not sure why you'd choose it for a girl. It's a bit trailer trash sounding

Either is fine but I'd go with whichever is the most popular otherwise she will spend her life getting it spelled incorrectly
