fab name, but what can you shorten it to? its a bit of a mouthful.

it would be like an opera yelling that across the playground.

Looks like a made-up spelling to me (but it might not be, so don't take offence...)

What about Maddalena or even Magdalena?

janeite · 29/05/2009 00:00

I don't think it's spelled like that tbh. The one I knew was Magdelena.

MrsKitty · 29/05/2009 07:58

Agree with other posters re: spelling (Magdalena)...nice name though, and plenty of shortening potential...
Magda
Mags
Lena
Maggie

as well as less obvious ones like...
Dally
Della
Lenny (!)

Spell it right and its nice.

Beautiful when spelt correctly. Love Maggie for a nn.

Totally has spelled it right - 1st is Italian, 2nd is Slavic version of Madeleine. Magda is the standard short form - Maggie still has horribly negative connotations for me, I'm afraid. I love the name Lena on its own, so that could be another option.

Magdalena is the Spanish spelling if that's any help.
