Totally agree that Madison/Maddie is overdone. I also think it will feel dated with Madison being so popular with kids who are currently aged 10-20. Liana is a prettier and more unique name.
I love the name Liana. If you want the same style but want it to match your other children's names, I think Layson works great. Or you could go with: Emerson Payson Ellison
Hi! I’m a Liana! Just wanted to share that I love my name and vote Liana over Madison! I’m 40 and still get compliments on my name and spelling, although people mostly assume it’s spelled Leanna so I do have to correct people. I like it because it’s uncommon but not weird.
