[Opinions] Magdalena
What do you think of the name Magdalena? It feels so elegant and beautiful to me. What are some middle names that go with it?

I'm not the biggest fan but I don't hate it either. I think it goes best with a simple middle name such as Marie, Pearl, Rose, etc.

It's a bit clunky but I do like it. I know of one that goes by Magda, though if I had been her mom I would have probably gone with Maggie. I'm rather fond of the idea of a Magdalena that goes by Maggie.

I think it is biblical character on new testament Mary Magdalene. I absolutely love because it's very beautiful and elegant. Reminds me this song sounds like Macarena XD

I find Magdalena too long, and the rhythm is heavy and clumsy. I like Magdalen, but probably only as a mn.

How would you pronounce Magdalena? The ways I’ve heard are either mag-duh-lee-nah or mag-duh-lay-nah.

In English, MAG-duh-LEE-nah; in Afrikaans, mahCH-dah-LEEuh-nah. CH is the throat-clearing sound, similar to the -ch in 'loch'.
