Wadeleine
Badeleine
Fadeleine

ok that's out of my system

what do you mean by similar? Same number of syllables or same short-form of Maddy

I quite like Mathilde / Mathilda and the short-form of Matty

Thanks, Fadeleine is really pretty, is it German?

I guess I mean sylabble-wise and with a similar ring, like Christobel (which i don't like) if you see what I mean.

How about Marianne, or Clementine? That kind of thing?

SoccerMum · 28/07/2009 15:52

Madelena is nice?

Romilly
Magaly
Vivien
Verity
Eloise

I love Christabel and Marianne as suggested. Two gorgeous names.

HensMum · 28/07/2009 15:58

Is Magdalene too similar?

snackattack · 28/07/2009 15:59

Madison?

GirlsAreLoud · 28/07/2009 17:07

I love Matilda and Eloise but DH doesn't.

How about Marcheline?

SoccerMum · 28/07/2009 17:28

Marcheline...thats lovely..very unusual.

Mirabelle?

Friends have just had a daughter called Madeleine and the other name on their list was Molly. Probably not what you're asking, but there you have it.

Gwendoline. Bit too mallory towers for my liking, but you never know)
Louisa
Maryam

Nope, not feeling it.

pania · 28/07/2009 20:05

Genevieve?

SoccerMum · 28/07/2009 20:42

I love Gwen in the short form, Gwendoline I am not keen on.

I always liked Arabella, but it reminds me of horses.

norktasticninja · 28/07/2009 20:46

Madelief? It's a Dutch name (and the Dutch word for daisy).

Thinkthinkthink · 28/07/2009 20:48

Jesamine is nice with a similar ring ti it.

Thinkthinkthink · 28/07/2009 20:49

Eowyn · 28/07/2009 20:50

Adelaide. Perfect, tho I don't think anyone else on earth thinks so...

FranSanDisco · 28/07/2009 20:53

Used to know a girl called Adeline which she pronounced Adeleene.
