Help[Opinions] Re: Madison

Agreed! I used to like it, but now it's so popular that it sickens me. Can't parents give their children somewhat more dignified names that will age well?
And names like "Cameron" and "Ashley" for girls... do they even realize that "Cameron" means "crooked nose" in Gaelic? Plus the corrupted spelling to make the name "unique"! It's just the same damned name in a different spelling!

Well, Leah means "weary" and Claudia means "lame." I don't think you can say Cameron is a worse name just because of the meaning. Lots of good names have bad meanings.

Well, you're right about that. Beulah means "married" (which is making the assumption that she wants to marry), Cecilia means "blind", and Mary means "bitter" (although some believe that it's more along the lines of "bitterly wanted a child"), but for me Cameron will always be a surname. If it's used at all as a given name, it should be strictly masculine, because it just sounds so butch to me. And don't even begin on the nauseatingly trendy offshoots of Cameron, Caitlin, Aidan, Casey, Michaela, and the like.
