HelpMaddox?
Yes, I started liking it after seeing it so often, thanks to Angelina Jolie.
I know that pop culture is skyrocketing Maddox through the Top 1000, but I want to get some real life opinions.
Aside from Angelina Jolie, and obviously, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, what do you think of? What image does it produce? What kind of person do you see?
Also, I say ma-ducks. But because of the O, I want to say ma-docks. How do you pronounce it? Is there a huge difference between the pronunciations that I said?
Finally, do Casey & Maddox sound like brothers?
Thanks in advance!

Definitely ducks, not docks!
All I think of, no matter how many celebs use it for their infants, is an insane, castrated bull.

Honestly, I can't get over the visual of it- the fact that it looks like "mad ox." If it weren't for that, I would probably like it. But that's just my own weird thing. I do like Madoc.
I say Maddox the way you do. I think Casey and Maddox sound like brothers and go well together.

I really love this name, and think it's very cool.
Not keen on casey for a boy though.

I don't like it. Too celebrity baby for me.

I too say ma-ducks.
Personally I love this name. It's unusual without being over the top, masculine without being overly macho, and I could just as easily see it on someone's stationary as I could the cover of Rolling Stone. No matter what I see a Maddox as a very strong personality, certainly not someone to be triffled with. Maddox and Casey make great brothers; couple of rouges. If you are worried about the Jolie-Pitt association Madoc is a fantastic alternative. Otherwise I really do love Maddox.

Love it.
Honestly, who cares if it was used by Angelina Jolie? I think it's a good name, solid and modern enough without being too trendy. I picture it on an intelligent, wise-cracking kid who marches to the beat of his own drummer.
Casey and Maddox make good brothers, IMO. The names kind of match, in a weird way.

Haha. I'm not at all concerned about where I found a name. I love Harlow too. I might not have liked them without the exposure, but hey - what can you do?
I find that Casey really is his own dude, and has been from the moment he was born. Maybe even before that, when he amazed my nurses and caregivers during pregnancy with his energy, despite how small he was.
When I wrote Casey & Maddox together, I thought that as different as they were, they look really good together, and not overly matchy matchy. I like a lot of other C names, but with my name also being a C name, I don't want to get stuck in C's. I like that both are recognizable, but I doubt that Casey and Maddox - should this be the name of #2 - would have another classmate with those names, especially in our area.
