I have never heard of [name]Merrigan[/name] before, but it’s really nice. You could use the nn [name]Merri[/name] if you wanted too. I also like [name]Madigan[/name], for a nn you could do [name]Maddie[/name]!

[name]Merrigan[/name] is sweet, but I like [name]Madigan[/name] best for a girl. It’s a cute surnamey-name, with the (overused) nn [name]Maddie[/name] which makes it feel feminine.

These names aren’t my style but I prefer the softer sound of [name]Merrigan[/name]. I think [name]Madigan[/name] is harsh and may be misheard as [name]Madison[/name].

5

I can’t get past the fact that [name]Madigan[/name] sounds like “mad again”. [name]Merrigan[/name] is cute if you don’t mind the nn [name]Meri[/name] ([name]Mary[/name]).

I like [name]Madigan[/name] for a girl, but tenleyskye has a good point, especially since my daughter [name]Madelyn[/name] ([name]Maddie[/name]) already thinks he name makes her sound like someone who is mad all the time.

I like the thought of [name]Madigan[/name] for a boy but I know the cutest little girl by the name. [name]Merrigan[/name] looks made-up to me and very [name]Lord[/name] of the Rings.

@author in writing- I found it on NB, so I don’t think it’s made up! (NB does have [name]Addisyn[/name], so I’m not so sure…:)) It does have a ‘[name]Lord[/name] of the Rings’ sound, you’re right. I just didn’t think of that!
[name]Even[/name] so, [name]Merrigan[/name] is winning the poll! Thanks, Berries!

I’m not a big fan of either, but [name]Merrigan[/name] is okay. [name]Madigan[/name] just sounds like “mad again.”
