My favourite name in the world is [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] (mad-er-lyn). I think it’s adorable, ages stunningly and [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] is such a pretty nn but… my sister (very close) is called [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]. I feel this would be a massive problem but just wanted to know what your opinion is? Thank you!
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think your sister would mind? Or that it would be confusing? You could always call your daughter [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] or something if you’re worried about confusion. I think I’d be honored if my sister named her daughter after me! What is your concern exactly?
I know the struggle!! I love the names [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] however [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is one of my sisters middle’s name and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] is one of my other sisters first names. [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] wouldn’t be such an issue to use because it’s her middle name but I have four sisters and wouldn’t want it to look like I’m favouring her over the others.
As for [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]… I really love it but I won’t use it. I just think it would be too confusing and cause too much drama as I am close with all of my sisters.
So my advice would be don’t use it - or at least for a first name. [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is gorgeous and I can see why you like it but unless you want it to seem like your naming her after your sister, it’ll just be confusing. Maybe use it as a middle name? But again it will look like you’re honouring her.
My question is though, how many sisters do you have?
I’ve never heard [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] pronounced mad-er-lyn. [name_m]How[/name_m] does your sister pronounce it?
I think it could work as a middle name, but not as a first name. Would you consider [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] or [name_f]Madelief[/name_f]? Or even [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f].
