having a hard time with a girl name

I actually like them both! Although I feel Maddie is more common than Avery.

Madeline is the less common name. And I would recommend spelling it the traditional way, as a kid, I never was able to find my name on anything, and I would have been even more annoyed if they had the traditional spelling of my name but not the variant I had.

Team pink might be able to give you some ideas!

I like both. I chose Avery because it's not as common, but still nice.

I like them both too! Hard choice

Don't you want to spell Madeleine correctly?

If you have to destroy the spelling, I'd stick with Avery...

I love the name Madelyn, and maddy is a super cute nickname! =]

I've been having a hard time finding a girl name as well. We don't know if LO is a boy or girl yet, but my husband loves the name Christina and my favorite is Riley, so we were thinking of Christina Riley (last name)... Why are baby names so hard to pick!?!

Edit: how do you make a post with a poll? I actually wanted to do this too but I don't even know how lol

@beccabeeee When you start a post, there are pull down options to make a poll.

??? I've only seen it spelled Madelyn and Madeline

Madeline Raine is my husband's top pick! Good choice!

To me Madelyn and Madeline are two different names? Aren't they pronounced different? Mad-a-lynn. Mad-a-line. ???? I think they're both great. Geez sometimes people are harsh.

I'm begging my husband to consider Avery for our daughter. He's not into it though. I love it.

I would pronounce those the same way.

Madeline is usually pronounced with a long I vowel like the word line. Madelyn is pronounced Lynn. However I have a friend spelled Madeline and it's pronounced Lynn.

Regional dialects can play a big part how a name is pronounced. Both the -line and -lyn ending are acceptable pronounciation in English for Madeline.

I love the name Madelyn. My first thought was Madelyn is pronounced Lynn. And Madeline would be pronounced Mad-a-lean. With that said to avoid pronunciation confusion just spell it Madelyn.

macattack15 · July 2015

yeah it's actually spelt Madelyn for mad-a-Lynn
Madeleine is mad-a-lean
learn to read and don't be so rude
