When you hear Madeline...

[LoveCakes]

do you think McCann? We both love the name but especially with all the stuff in the news at the minute it has put us off a bit.

 

[Rickles]

Honestly - yes - that's why we chose Madison for DD in the end... I loved the name Maddie and always planned on a Madeline until that story broke. xx

 

[JumpingIn]

Yes. Sorry

 

[Babybug]

Yeh kind of I love the name too

 

[cherrylips100]

I think of the film firstly, but that might actually be Madeleine? If you really like it, try not to let it put you off. You can associate all names with something bad if you look hard enough.

 

[Tasha]

Yes it does.

 

[BethHx]

Yes x

 

[BethHx]

Before reading the front I thought it might say that too.X

 

[RubyRainbows]

Yes, the first thing I think of is that sweet missing baby girl!

How about Madelyn - I think this name is equally gorgeous!!

 

[skc22]

I agree with Madelyn, I like it more than Madeline

 

[LittleLala]

If it helps, I think of the cartoon with the little French girls...

"We love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other"
I think it's lovely x

 

[sheldonsmommy]

I always think of current associations with names, but then I try to decide if the association will still be present when she is going to school or an adult. Generally speaking, it's not.

 

[ab75]

Yes xx

 

[Yo_Yo]

Yes, it's a beautiful name but reminds me McCann

 

[steph.]

No I don't. It's a lovely name. Maybe the association is stronger in the UK?

 

[xcxox]

not at all! I think of the show "Madeline" with the little french girl!

 

[wannabemomy37]

No but clearly this seems to be a UK thing, so I wouldn't know.

What about Madilyn like a PP said if you're that worried. I wouldn't let something in the news stop me from naming my baby that though.

 

[purplerat]

It does, but I also think of the French cartoon. I love the name though and it's a possibility for our girl. I won't let it get in the way x

 

[MUMOF5]

I think of my daughter Madeleine. She is 4, when we were thinking if her name we did discuss the link to poor little Madeleine McCann, but it was different for us as it was also my Nan's name, so the name had other stronger connections for us x

 

[NotNic]

Not really. Your title lead me to that train of thought rather than the name.
