HelpRe: Madison
in reply to a message by Joiya
I'm not a big fan of -son names either. However, I have a soft spot for Alison. I think it must be because it was the only "-son" name I was used to hearing on girls of my generation and older.
B names are fun, in the way that F names are fun. They have a punchy sound, and they aren't used all the time like Es, As, Cs, Ms... etc.
I like Brielle, very pretty.
I like Bailey, though for someone else's kid.
I like Briana, because it could be honoring for my Dad.
Others I like are Bianca, Brigid, Beatrice, Branwen, Bram, Beathan... I'm sure there are others.
I like Blaize, but only spelled Blaise.

I was grabbing trendy and alternate b-names.
I am a huge fan of the classics too. Blaise is our second choice for a boy. Bianca has long been a fave. Bridie is just adorable, and we considered Bridget when naming Clarisse.
Beatriz and Beatrix are so quirky and fun. Bethany, Blaire, Blair, Burton, Belraine, Bettina, Briar, Briscoe and Bell are all decent enough for use imo.

When I was a teenager back in the 1970s, I had a friend named Alison. Like me, she was born in 1960, so she was given the name before it really started to rise in popularity. (Actually it was the spelling Allison that took off, but same dif.) Her parents had named her older sister Michelle in 1954 so obviously they were trendsetters. Anyway, I never liked her name, never. Just never saw the appeal. At the time, Madison and Addison never crossed my mind as they were not used as names back then. This makes me think that perhaps my intense dislike of both Madison and Addison springs from more than the fact that they are surnames-on-girls, a trend which I dislike in general. Perhaps it is also the very sound, evidently I really dislike "son" endings.

I completely understand. I tend to feel that way about -lyn names, honestly.
Trend setters indeed!

Agreed with -lynn!!
I don't know what it is, but they really bug me.
