Is [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] usable? I’m not religious, but I know why people shy away from the name.
What do Berries think of the name?
I think it’s pretty and very usable. I know a [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] who wears it really well and she also goes by [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]. For some reason the ‘a’ ending makes it a little quirkier sounding than [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], but both are lovely.
I think [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] is perfectly usable, though I prefer the spelling [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f].
I’m not keen on [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] as a nickname, but I do like [name_f]Magda[/name_f]
I have known several Magdalenas, so I find [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] to be very usable. Its a pretty and strong sounding name with several pretty nicknames available.
I think [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] is lovely, I don’t think it’s too religious though the link is there. I love [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Magda[/name_f] as nicknames.
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] sounds very biblical to me, but [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] is lovely and doesn’t carry the same connation.
For sure! [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Maddalena[/name_f], etc. Are all very pretty and usable.
It’s okay. I prefer [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], and the Portuguese form of this name: Madalena.
