Help[Opinions] Re: Madison
in reply to a message by FictionPrincess31415
I don't really like Madison. But I think I understand what its appeal is. It's like a Madeline-Alison smush, with the spiffy/spunky air of a surname name. It sounds (sounded 20 years ago) new, but yet familiar, and the sound has been fashionable. When my daughter was a baby, we knew another baby named Matison (prn Madison) and her nn was Mati (prn Maddie), and that sort of let me warm up to the name. But when I first saw Madison getting popular my inclination was to think it was terribly bad.
Of the top 10 for 2014, I think I like Ava the least. I don't think it's bad, though - I just can't help picturing an Ava as a bossy, vain person. I guess that'll last until I meet a real Ava? I've also never liked Abigail, but I can appreciate it. What I hate most about it is the nn Abby / Abbie / Abi etc. Just don't like the sound. It's doggie. I like Gail. Gail is great.
I am wondering, whatever happened to Emerson and Cadence? Flashes in the pan? I thought they'd take off more than they did.
I could live without ever seeing the name Liam again. I also don't hate it, but it has no appeal for me. I didn't mind Jayden, because I like the name Jay, but I'd prefer Jaden over Jayden.
I'd love to see Victoria in Ava's place and Audrey in Abigail's. It kinda appalls me that Aubrey and Avery are more popular than Audrey is.
And I'd like to see Henry switch spots with Liam. Also - why not! - Sebastian with William, and Lucas with Jacob, and Nathan / Nathaniel with Ethan.
