Addy as a nickname for Madison?

Wondering if people think this works. I prefer [name_f]Addy[/name_f] to [name_f]Maddie[/name_f], but for my purposes, I think I like [name_u]Madison[/name_u] better, it feels a little more substantial.

My question is, is this just fussy? Obviously [name_f]Addy[/name_f] fits just fine sound-wise, but if that’s the nickname, is one better off just going with [name_u]Addison[/name_u]?

I definitely think it works! [name_u]Madison[/name_u] does feel a little tired to me, so I would probably go with [name_u]Addison[/name_u], but I think you can definitely use [name_f]Addy[/name_f] for [name_u]Madison[/name_u]. Maybe

I think it works!

I think it works! I agree that [name_u]Madison[/name_u] is over used though.

Madeleine
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
Any of the [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] names
[name_u]Adley[/name_u]
[name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_f]Adessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

Addy could work!

Addy could work as a nn for [name_u]Madison[/name_u].

It definitely works imo. I also like suggestions of [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f]/Adeline, but [name_u]Madison[/name_u] does feel more “grounded” to me as well!

I don’t think [name_f]Adela[/name_f] was mentioned!

I think it works but I’d be prepared for people to mistake her full name for [name_u]Addison[/name_u]. Not only is [name_u]Addison[/name_u] also a common name, but it’s a common full name for [name_f]Addy[/name_f], AND it sounds incredibly similar to [name_u]Madison[/name_u] so I could see people mistaking the two even when she says her full name out loud.

Addy sounds great as a nickname!

Addy would be a very interesting nickname! It works for me!

I absolutely love [name_f]Addy[/name_f], and I totally think it would work as a nickname for [name_u]Madison[/name_u]–you would just have to be very clear about it from the beginning, imo. I also love the previous suggestions of [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]/Adelyn or [name_f]Adele[/name_f]/Adela as full names for [name_f]Addy[/name_f], if those appeal!
