I think it's horrible. Horribly horribly unattractive. And repulsively unfeminine. The first syllable is ugly, ugly, ugly. (I don't like Adelaide, either, partly because of the first syllable, but it's not as bad as Addison.) And ending in SON? No. A girl is nobody's son. (And I don't like Alison, either, because of the last syllable, though I know that in the case of Alison, the last syllable does not denote "son of." Still don't like it.) The common nickname, Addie, is also ugly and a terrible terrible name for a girl. In case I haven't made it clear, I HATE this name.

I feel sorry for all of the little Madisons and the little Addisons out there. I really do.
