Soā¦ my husband loves the name Madison, and itās definitely beginning to grow on me! I love that he loves it, because he really doesnāt like many names at all!!
I also love the meaning of the name - āson of Matthewā, my late grandparentsā surname was Matthews and Iāve also read it means āmighty warrierā or āstrength in battleā which I also adore as my grandfather was a soldier
I have a couple of things Iād like your opinion on though pleaseā¦
What do you think about the combination Madison Scarlett? Scarlett is a name weāve spoken about on and off since our daughter was born almost 9 years ago, and itās her favourite name too but I just donāt love it enough to use it as a first.
Our surname is Green@n, so her first and surname has the same end sounding - Madison Green@n. Normally I am really put off by this, but for some reason itās not bothering me so much with this name - what are your feelings???
Do you think it goes with our daughter Zara? She would be known as Madi / Maddie (I think I prefer Madi though as itās a bit different and also has 4 letters)
I like it! [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and Maddie/Madi are really cute together, and I donā think the last name is a issue at all! The only shared letter is really N.
[name_f]Madison[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is nice!
[name_f]Madison[/name_f] sounds like a great choice for you! So much wonderful family significance, plus great that your husband loves it.
[name_f]Madison[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is a great combo! I think it flows really well. Iām not bothered by the sounds of [name_f]Madison[/name_f] G----n, I think āNā ending surnames are so common that nobody will think much of it. If anything, it has a sort of cool rhythmic cadence to it.
I think it works with [name_f]Zara[/name_f]! Especially [name_f]Madi[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f], I like how theyāre the same length and feel sort of fun and international.
[name_f]Madison[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] feels contemporary, cool and sharp - sheās style and feels versatile too
I think the extra syllable in [name_f]Madison[/name_f] breaks it up and it sounds fine to me
I think it could work, though they are slightly unexpected; [name_f]Zara[/name_f] feels a bit more stylish and sharp whereas [name_f]Madison[/name_f] feels more all-American. But they donāt clash
[name_f]Madi[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] feel really on-trend, I like it! I donāt mind the repetition of [name_f]Madison[/name_f] Gān, especially if sheāll usually be called [name_f]Madi[/name_f]. I knew a [name_f]Madison[/name_f] who had a double-barreled surname that both ended in N, and she seemed to make it work
I also like the tie to the [name_m]Matthews[/name_m] surname, I think it really is a nice name for you!
I think [name_f]Madison[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] sounds beautiful!! [name_f]Madi[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] are different style-wise, thatās my only hang up but wouldnāt be a dealbreaker for me I donāt think.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] isnāt for me, but the combo flows well!
I donāt think itās a big deal, [name_f]Madison[/name_f] Grān sounds nice enough when I say it out loud.
[name_f]Madison[/name_f] feels much more expected and safe than [name_f]Zara[/name_f], so her big sisterās name would definitely stand out to me in comparison. Especially with the nickname Madi/Maddie, which is so common among girls born in the 2000s. That said, itās definitely not such a shocking clash that they canāt work together!
I donāt mind the endings too much, I think itās fine.
I donāt think [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and [name_f]Madison[/name_f] match well, they feel very different in fact. [name_f]Madi[/name_f] matches even less to me.
However, this only matters if it you care about matching names.
Ahhh itās lovely that you both have found a name you love with such meaning
I think Madison Scarlett is great! The name is packed with meaning for you guys, has a pretty feminine southern flair and feels fashionable.
I think Madison sounds just fine with your surname very solid choice.
I love her with Zar@ the overall sibling set feels stylish and pretty. I wouldnāt naturally pair them together but to be honest I think itās fine. The love off a name is far more important than cohesion.
Thank you, but nameberry along with many other sources say the meaning is son of [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]. Perhaps similarly to many names it has more than one meaning
and Iāve also read it means āmighty warrierā or āstrength in battleā which I also adore as my grandfather was a soldier 
but I just donāt love it enough to use it as a first.
