Madelyn is nice, but common in my opinion. Also, I, unlike most, dislike the nickname Maddie (sorry!). Though it is more common on preschoolers/kindergartners where I live. In one class I've subbed at, there was a Madelyn, a Madalin, and a Maddie! I think I like Adelyn more.

In regards to my own name, I always disliked how unpopular it was. (Zhara still only stands as a submitted name here, which is saying a lot!) My brother's name was uncommon, but a bit more common where I live than my name, and people *usually* knew how to pronounce it. No one ever knows how to pronounce my name at first glance. (BTW, it is pronounced just like Zara, in my case)
