Love it, but slightly prefer Maddalena as the spelling, don't know why just more used to it. My only drawback to this name is I HATE HATE HATE Maddy and it seems inevitable as a nickname.
I really like it, I have a friend named Madelena, but Madalena is pretty too along with Magdalena. I love all of the names. I feel like Madalena is more practical compared to Magdalena which is more weighty but I use Magdalena all of the time.
I like it a lot and actually prefer it to Magdalena. I suppose because I like Maddie over Maggie. Also, Madalena has a lighter feel to it vs. Magdalena. As a plus, it's really nice with your children's names.
I prefer Magdalen without the -a, but if I had to choose I'd go for Magdalena instead of Madalena, which is too close to the boring Madeleine for my taste.
I liked it at first, but then I realized it looked like a cross between Magdalena and Madalin or Madeleine or something. I do think it sounds good though, and its uncommon but easy to say.
