HelpMadison
Well, I bet this name is done-for now. Thoughts? :)

Do you think it's that heavily associated on it's own? Hm. Will be interesting to watch.

I think it will definitely sully people's admiration of the already waning-in-popularity moniker.

Especially if they know someone whose marriage ended because of the data leak.

I really don't think there will be much impact. Madison had a ton of associations and Ashley Madison was decently well known before, and had little to no effect. I don't think either Ashley or Madison is associated with it independent of the other.
I actually don't have the energy to dislike this one strongly anymore anyhow.

Because of Ashley Madison?
Eh, I don't think that's going to prevent anyone from using it. If I heard a mother call for Madison in the supermarket I wouldn't think, "cheating website". It wouldn't have occurred to me if you hadn't made some remark about it being "done". :P
For the record, I like Madison and I think it's cute.

Someone else likes Madison too! Finally!

I like it, as a smush of Madeline and Alison. Except for one thing - the bedroom test. I still can't picture a lover saying it to her in passion, Oh, Madison! It's just awkward somehow. I have this problem with almost all surname names on girls, though. I guess it might be lessened if I still knew any Madisons personally.

Really? Maybe it's because I've met a couple of grown-up Madisons, but it seems perfectly womanly to me.

I've always liked Madison. Yes, I know it's popular because of "Splash", but I don't care. Yes, I know it means "son of", but I don't care. Yes, I know there are a million little Maddies running around, but I don't care. I still really like the sound of it. I think it's sunny and yellow.

It could be refreshing on a boy. I always thought Maddy on a guy would be adorable, though I'd rather use Amadeus as a full form, I think. On a girl it kind of has been done to death, hasn't it? But I don't think that it's popularity will drop off for awhile yet, at least I don't think it'll take a steep decline.

No, it's not done for, though I wish it were. Only Time will stop The Madison Train.

A lot of people really suspected this would be the name of the fourth Duggar grandchild.
I doubt it's done-for because of the website, but maybe the site is the banana peel on the ground that helps the name slide down the charts a little faster.

Well, that would have been awkward if they had chosen Madison. Not that things aren't awkward now...

No, I doubt it's going anywhere any time soon. I think it will start falling in popularity in the near future (5+/- years)but I don't think it's going to go archaic. Madison really had a big heyday about 10 years ago in the US but it's actually held on rather strongly. It was popular in boy/girl twins along with Mason. I can't even begin to tell how many Madison/Mason twin sets I've heard of since the early 2000's.

I disagree, respectfully. I think this will precipitate a very noticeable drop in use. Time will tell!

Ha, I don't think so honestly. It's still a last name in that context and I wouldn't associate it with a little girl with the first name. It would make the same difference as if the name was Ashley Jones. If it were Ashley Paisley or Ashley Hayden -- something with less first and last name popularity but still a surname on the rise -- it might be affected.
