It literally just means wood, so no thanks.
As a Spanish speaker I just can't overlook that.

I usually think of Madeira Beach, Florida.

not sure I like it as a name, but I love the cake

It’s a bit more classy than Brandy or Sherry, but not by much.

“Have some Madeira my dear...” Alcohol. Nope.

If Brandy, Sherry and Margaux are OK, then why not? Well, there is the Portuguese island ... and the old Flanders and Swann song "Have some Madeira, m'dear" which is a comic masterpiece but not necessarily the kind of song one would wish to be associated with.

Hi!!!!

I like it. It has a warm, comfortable vibe. I like that means 'wood' as well as the island and the vines.

The most important thing is the wood element in my opinion. Makes it familiar.

There's nothing like a fine Madeira.

Unless Madeira is a person.

I hear it's lovely this time of year.

Beautiful island. I hope to go there soon. I wouldn’t use it unless your child is conceived/born there and in that case use the nickname Maddy. (Sorry if I’m harsh)

It's very obviously alcohol named after a place, to me, but it sounds pretty. I think I'd prefer it to most other Mad* names.

I'm not real sure how to pronounce it. Ma-deer-a? Which just sounds like "my dear" or Tyler Perry's M-Dea.
