Madelyn...?

in Baby Names
Apparently clicky's don't work with Internet Explorer, so this will have to do.
DH suggested Madelyn Quinn (which I have tentatively agreed to, as noted in my sig)
My mother suggested Madelyn Grace (which seems like a filler mn to me, but it does sound nice)
Which do you prefer? Or is there something nicer out there to go with Madelyn?
Oh, and I'm not changing the spelling, so please don't press that issue.
TIA!!!!

Re: Madelyn...?
I dislike Quinn on a girl intensely. It sounds bizarre, masculine, and dirty. Its current popularity is baffling to me. I suppose it's because of that Glee girl?
I think Grace is overused as a middle name.
Isn't there a name that has a special meaning to you, your partner, or your family?
Not particularly. I know that honoring family members is pretty common on this board, but it's just not my style. I'd prefer my baby to have her own name. It's a great sentiment and I'm not knocking those who name after others, but it's just not me.
The only Quinn I've ever know was a female, so I guess I don't look at it as masculine, but thanks for the feedback!
Christine was my middle choice if we go with Madelyn.
Other choices: Madelyn Rose; Madelyn Jayne (Maddie Jayne sounds cute); Madelyn Faith
I know three babies named Madelyn Grace, but I do like it. Madelyn Quinn is cute too. I prefer one-syllable mn's with longer names. Hmmm...
Madelyn Jade
Madelyn Kate
Madelyn Paige
Madelyn Faith
Madelyn Eve
I love Madelyn Jane! Good suggestions! I'll have to run these by DH. Thanks!
I personally like Madelyn Quinn, which I think sounds very Irish.
I don't even mind the Madelyn spelling. I actually prefer Madalyn, but for some reason do NOT like the tradition Madeline. I think because to me that says LINE wiht a long I sound and I prefer the softer lyn sound.
i like them both but i like Madelyn Grace a little more. other middle names i like are:
Ava, Faith, Skye, Nicole, Olivia & Paige. GL
Natural M/C at 7 weeks 9.17.08 Natural M/C at 7 weeks 2.1.13
I really like the name Quinn for a girl, but Madelyn Quinn is kinda too rhyme-y for my style. I like:
Madelyn Elise
Madelyn Leigh
Madelyn Elizabeth
Madelyn Rose
Madelyn Rae
Madelyn Mae
Madelyn Jayne
Madelyn Marie
Madelyn Sienna
Madelyn Victoria
Madelyn Reese
This is exactly why we chose this spelling! I don't want her to constantly have to correct people on pronunciation. I am automatically inclined to say "mad/ah/LINE" when I see Madeline.
Thank you all for the suggestions- I'll definitely be discussing some of these with my DH!
I'm also going with the fn Madeleine (same pronunciation)
The poll link in my siggy is my current list of middle name contenders.
1998 Ovarian Cancer Survivor. 7 Miscarriages: 6w, 13w2d, 4w2d, 7w4d (DD's twin), 5w. Failed Tubal after c/s (!!): 5w2d, 6w4d
That's actually the traditional spelling, not sure why a pp thinks it is Madeline-- it isn't.
We love this name, but I refuse to use it because of spelling =P
I dislike Madeline Quinn. If my only other choice is Grace, then I would go with that, but I think you can do better with some thought - I like the Jane suggestion.
