HelpRe: Madison
in reply to a message by Lily
Oh, sorry, I do not like Madison. Like queenv, I was stunned the first time I heard of it. One of my co-workers was pregnant with a girl, and told me she and her husband were considering the name Madison. Huh? I was so taken aback, I don't think I said anything. This was around 1993. Of course, it has become very, very popular, but I'm still puzzled. What is the appeal?
I since have known a couple of Madisons, and Madisons called Maddy.
Maddison, like Madison = awful.
Mattison = worse.
And while we're on the subject, what is with people using the name Addison? Terrible. Reminds me of the disease, or an adder (snake). Ick.

Your reactions remind me of mine when I first heard of a girl named Mackenzie. Must have been in the late 90s, I was in elementary school. I had never heard it as a given name before and remember thinking 'how ugly, isn't that a surname?' :P I got used to it, though. I even really like McKenzie now and I think Makenzie is ok. I just can't get used to the Mackenzie spelling. The 'ck' in there just looks so ugly to me.
Addison became popular because of Private Practice, or so I heard. Never watched the show. I think it climbed so quickly because people saw it as a less common alternative to Madison. I think it's even in the top 10 or close.
