Maybelle.

Why can't you use Madeleine?

Pasiphae · 29/07/2009 12:28

Madeline? Marlene? Mirabelle? Sidonie? Segolene? Philomene? Celimene?

And I like Adelaide too, so that makes two of us in the world!

Why not use madeleine?

mrsrawlinson · 29/07/2009 15:25

Is it because of the McCann connection? I vetoed Peter for our next baby for a similar reason!

Thanks I like Rosalind and Miranda.

Unfortunately someone else in the family is called Madeleine.

I second Miranda & I think Isabelle has the same sort of feel IYKWIM.

PuppyMonkey · 29/07/2009 16:37

I have a Madeleine. Ner Ner emoticon. Only alternative I would have gone for out of all these is Evangeline.

GirlsAreLoud · 29/07/2009 17:38

I like Evangeline, and nn Evie I really like.

But is it a bit similar to Fanjo do you think? Do you hear Efanjoline?

wouldn't worry about fanjo since in my experience that word doesn't exist outside MN! (it's a whole new world here!)

Jacqueline (Jaqualin, Jaclyn, Jacqelyn and all the other varients)

Marianna, Marianne, Marie-ann, Mary-ann

Isabelle (not isobel - old lady spelling, soz)

Angeline/a

Arabelle/a

Gwenivere

Marina

Leonora

Sabrina

Magdala
Eloise

or maybe Caroline

ZZZenAgain · 30/07/2009 17:11

actually I don't see how Eloise is like Madeleine really but I group it as "that type of name" somehow IFYSWIM

I have a niece Madeline and love the name.
I always think Matilda is similar and Tabitha, Samantha, Jemima. There is something nice about the 3 syllables.

Marcheline is very nice and unusual.
