HelpRe: Madeleine or Emmeline?
in reply to a message by Ebba
I don't the the McCann girl is a problem. Madeleine/Madalyn/Madeline etc are pretty popular names now. I think almost everyone would know a handful of other girls with the name that they would think of first before that little English girl.
Both names are a little too popular for my taste. Emmeline I don't think is so popular itself but it's similar enough to the ubiquitous Emma and Emily that it still isn't really a stand-out in my mind.
I do like the nn Minnie though. You don't see that much. I feel the nn comes a lot more naturally from Emmeline so I'd go with that. But if the tabloid child is your only barrier in using Madeleine instead, I'd go with that. Use what you love.
