A couple years ago, my coworker's daughter had her first child. She named her Magdalen. Ever since I have LOVED the name. It comes with the adorable nickname - Maggie. It's not unheard of yet it's not common either. It's pretty, sophisticated and elegant. I'm seriously considering it for my daughter.

What a delightful name! Definitely would pronounce MAG-da-len, and not MAUD-lin, however. Maggy or Maggie is a cute nickname, but the unique given name Magdalen is so much better.

I think this is ugly. Reminds me of a old nasty witch or some type of doctor with hairy mole.
