Re: Madison
in reply to a message by Jessica
I don't really like it on either gender, because... it just sounds like a last name, not a first name.
I think people will assume it's a girl because it's more popular for girls. Like earlier this school year, in my lunch, someone mentioned a Taylor and it was assumed they were female. Turned out they were talking about a boy. The guy they were talking to said "Why'd they give him a girl's name?"
If I had a son named Madison though, I'd call him Mads.

I've generally thought of Taylor as gender neutral and initiallly thought of it as a surname and then a boys' name...
