Madelynn is a trendy spelling that I hate. The two tasteful ways to spell the name are the traditional Madeline and Madeleine.

Ariella is vapid and saccharine, like the name Eliana which also gets on my nerves egregiously. It also looks like the word areola--not a good association for a name. Ariel and Arielle seem more valid. The -ella ending is overkill in this particular instance.

I think they sound lovely together. I'd prefer Madelyn, Madeline or Madeleine, but they are both pretty names. I especially love Ariella. :)

Yes, but I detest the spelling "Madelynn."
I would much much prefer Madeline / Madeleine and Ariella

Those could work. Ariella's quite pretty and they go nicely together.

Yep I think they go well together!

Yes, I think they are quite similar in style. They would make a good sibset.
