Hello everyone! What do you think of the name [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] or [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it will age well? [name_m]Just[/name_m] tell me all of your thoughts!

My first thought is [name_f]Mary[/name_f] of [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]. I think it’s a really pretty name, but I wouldn’t personally use it because I think it’s too long and “heavy” sounding. Not sure if that makes sense, but I’d pair it with a shorter “simpler” mn. I think the nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] is cute if you like that. And finally, I don’t think it’ll age poorly it’s a pretty good name and I can’t see anything bad about it.

I think it’s a lovely name. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal preference is [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]. I think it will age fine especially with the nicknames.

I think it’s a beautiful name and it’s one of the few names that I like both endings ([name_f]Lena[/name_f] & lene) depending on which one flows best with the middle name/last name

Absolutely stunning! I think it’ll age beautifully. I love both [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] and [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], but I think I’ll pick the latter

Magdalena is elegant and bold

ethelmary · March 24, 2021, 9:16am

It’s pretty! I really like its bold and feminine feel It’s underappreciated. I prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] but like both. It would absolutely age well imo

hannahhh · March 24, 2021, 9:25am

I really like it, I think I just prefer magdalene, but both are stunning

gracegillian · March 24, 2021, 9:28am

It’s beautiful! I think it’s so elegant and classy. I like both, but slightly prefer [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]. I think it’ll age beautifully, and there’s always an abundance of nicknames in case [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] feels too ‘grown up’ on a little baby

katinka · March 24, 2021, 9:45am

It’s gorgeous! [name_m]Long[/name_m] and impactful, with a lovely balance of harder and softer sounds and great nickname potential.

I slightly prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] over [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], although both are stunning. I think there is much more variety in how people pronounce [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] than [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], which is something to bear in mind. MAG-da-lin, MAG-da-leen, MAG-da-lane, MAUD-lin, MAUD-leen, etc.

I have a special fondness for the streamlined [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] form as well

I love [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] and [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]! They’ll age well imo. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], but followed very closely by [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f].

judy.newstead · March 24, 2021, 10:06am

Magdalena is lovely!!
I prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] for a first and [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] for a middle if that makes sense?
I think it will age well!

anon40684139 · March 24, 2021, 10:22am

I adore [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]! I prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], but I adore both! The nickname options are endless and the sound is so appealing!

Elyphina · March 24, 2021, 11:43am

Magdalena
I think both names age well. I know a few [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]’s ranging from toddler to old lady. They’re all lovely, kind, strong women.
[name_f]My[/name_f] cousin goes by [name_f]Magda[/name_f] and it really suits her.
The others I know go by [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_m]Daley[/name_m], and [name_f]Lena[/name_f]. Oh and darling but prn more like duh-lyn cause weird accent.

Johannaa · March 24, 2021, 12:33pm

I think [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] is a very beautiful name. I prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]. I think it will age well. I like the nickname [name_f]Lena[/name_f].

dandy_orchid · March 24, 2021, 2:30pm

I think it’s absolutely gorgeous and would age beautifully! It’s definitely more elaborate than my personal style, but it has so many amazing nickname options that are more within my usual wheelhouse–[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] or [name_f]Leni[/name_f] are probably my favorites I prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] to [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], but I also love [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] without the “e” at the end. A lovely name overall!

emmaleegrace · March 24, 2021, 2:41pm

Such a gorgeous name! I can definitely see it at any age. [name_u]Love[/name_u] all the nicknames ([name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Magda[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f]). I prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] over [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], but both are lovely.

josieaitken · March 24, 2021, 2:42pm

I love [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]! I prefer [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] over [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]. I personally like the nicknames Dalie (the a is like a in cat) and [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] better than [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] I think [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] will age very well.

Klaralinnea · March 24, 2021, 2:48pm
