in reply to a message by dorothy
I like Madelyn. When I was small, I had a family-friend-aunt named that who I thought was dignified and had wonderful jewelry that she let me and my sister play with. I prefer the spelling Madeleine, probably because of Madeleine L'Engle.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.

Cynthia is too dated for my tastes, sorry. I mean, it has a pretty sound, but I just like my names more current.
