Re: Madeleine or Emmeline?
in reply to a message by Ebba
I'm so excited about Bessie and Minnie :)
You could get away with Minnie for Madeleine IMO if that's primarily what you're wondering, and I don't think Madeleine McCann should be a concern.
However, I like Emmeline way more than Madeleine. I admit it's mainly because of popularity, but it's also vaguely whiny to me. My favorite Minnie names are Minerva and Wilhelmina, and I think Emmeline is much less of a stretch than Madeleine.
However again: Minnie is way more distinctive and awesome than boring Maddie.
So I guess I think you can't go wrong.
Out of curiosity, have you decided on a middle name yet?
