Which do you prefer: [name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] or [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]? 2-syllable last name starting with a B. Thanks for your input!
[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name], although I normally prefer [name]Lydia[/name] in general.
I prefer [name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] for a couple of reasons.
1 [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] is too abrupt sounding with the hard “t” and “d” ([name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] shares those two letters but it’s a lot softer). I don’t think a “B” surname would help the flow.
2 I like the longer [name]Madeleine[/name] with [name]Kate[/name] rather than the five-letter [name]Lydia[/name].
3 I like the name [name]Madeleine[/name] more than [name]Lydia[/name]. 
I love [name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]. I love the name [name]Madeleine[/name] but I worry to use it because it will just be shortened to “[name]Maddy[/name].” It’s perfect as a middle name.
[name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] is my vote!
While I love both [name]Madeleine[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name], I like the flow of [name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] more, personally (although the flow is almost identical–I guess I just like it because [name]Madeleine[/name] looks longer, so [name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] looks a bit more balanced.
[name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] rolls off the tongue much better than [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]. It sounds like it’s not on the table, but I love [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]!
[name]Kate[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] due to flow but also because I really love the combo.
