Re: Madison ~~

YES!
Thank you. I didn't look back that far.
I really have an intuition that these fashionable names that are traceable to one stimulus, are really just names that are destined to popularity because of, like, Zeitgeist or something, and the thing that "starts the trend" would be one thing if it weren't another. Someone would have named a female character Madison, if Splash hadn't had one, and it still would have taken off.
For usages like Khaleesi that are pretty original I'll buy that the one thing started the trend, but not for names like Madison. That mermaid character was not anywhere near cool enough. lol
