Madingley?

I was at the doctors today and there was a newborn.  Of course I asked the girl's name (very obvious that it was a girl).  The mom answered "Madingley"

I thought she said like Maddie, or Madelyn, or something.  But, when the nurse called them in, the nurse said "muh ding lee"  The mom corrected her, it is the same begining sound as Madelyn - so, Mading Lee.

Then, on the way home - I saw a sign that said "it's a girl - Madingley Melissa"  I have to assume it is one in the same.

I have never heard of this, but for some reason - it reminds me of a baseball player, but I have no idea what the guys name could be - since it did not come up on a google search.

Ever heard this name?  I don't really like it

Don Mattingly - NY Yankees.

Wow. That's interesting.

What ethnicity was the little girl? It could have been a cultural name, which is why none of us have ever heard it before.

She was Caucasian, her sister (about 3) was blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin.

Yep, that's my assumption.  Perhaps you just didn't see her other sibling, Jeter.

I would always think of "maddeningly" as in "she was maddeningly thoughtless when she chose her child's name."

Yes! She named her kid after Donnie Baseball. This sounds like something my H would suggest. I should not mention this to him ever lest he get ideas.

LMAO - sounds exactly like what they did

I do have friends that named their daughter Addison because they are HUGE Cubs fans.  I think the road the stadium is on is called Addison.

I love Madelyn but that name is awful!

That's a horror.
