Re: What do you think of the name Maddie Lynn?
in reply to a message by Barbie
I don't understand the comments saying "why not just use Madeleine or Madeline?" because those names sound nothing like Maddie Lynn. Even Madalyn, which is closer, still doesn't sound like Maddie Lynn.
I don't particularly like the name as it's too sweet/cutesy for me, I would want Maddie to be a nickname and not a full first name, and Lynn reads as very fillery; but it's obviously a totally different sound from Madeleine, Madeline, Madalyn, etc. It's not comparable to names like Anna Belle, Emma Lee, or Mary Ann which could easily be replaced by Annabelle, Emily, and Marianne because they sound the same (or basically the same but with a little more emphasis on the second name) when said out loud. "Madda Lynn" would sound like Madelyn, but nobody is going to skip over the "ie" in Maddie so much that it would sound like 'Madda'.
