Baby name help!
 

Well as some of you mite know im having a girl, wohoooooooo!!!! lol
The thing is that now we seem to have a problem about her name, i chose Maddison since i knew i was pregnant(dont know why just loved it), but my partner now dont like the name, he says it sounds like a butchs name (if you know what i mean).
The thing is my son is named after him and i will love to name my daughter Maddison, so, what shall i do?, should i choose a different name with him or should i stick to my guns?
Help!!:confused:

Harley Madison

Re: Baby name help!
 

your parents gave you a great name which will last , 60 year old 'grandma Yolanda' sounds good , a 60 year old grandma Chardonnay sounds and also tastes bad Yolanda - Origin and Meaning of the name Yolanda at BabyNames.com,
so please show the same respect as your parents , give her a name which will stand her thru time , think you should give her at least one name from the Bible ....... if she's a little 'fire-cracker" Barbara works well....the patron saint of explosives
just an opinion , but for you and your partner to decide

Re: Baby name help!

Re: Baby name help!

Re: Baby name help!

Think, maybe, Steeljack that in 60 years time, there will be lots of strangely named pensioners, so don't think will be an issue, although understand your thoughts in this year of 2008.
Will get shortened to Maddie though irrespective of how much effort is made not to.

Re: Baby name help!
 

I think it's nice when you give a name that someone in your family has.

Have none of your grandmother's got wonderful Spanish names you could use?

Re: Baby name help!
 

well my name certainly wasnt inherited was it :( lol

Re: Baby name help!
 

Madison is not a name for 2008 i got it from the film Splash!, my favorite film from when i was little;)

Re: Baby name help!
 

no, my mum is english, so was my grandma and my dads mum was from cuba but her name sounds weird in english or even spanish (sorry grandma):rolleyes:

Re: Baby name help!
 

I had a a name for a boy since i was a teenager, never really chose a girls name... his dad wanted alicia but hes used that for his new baby now

Re: Baby name help!
 

Its a matter of personal choice though.

I know if i had kids if it was a girl i would call her Sarah Elizabeth - and call her lily on a day to day basis ...

But its up to you and your partner what you want to call her how about you calling her maddison and he comes up with another name and then you can argue which comes first. Because if he comes up with a name - it might sound better as .... maddison rather than maddison ...... Just an idea.

Re: Baby name help!
 

Always said if I had a girl, it would be kimberley, my daughter is called samantha??? Men huh! No, it was a mutual agreement, my partner did not like kimberley, so we agreed on samantha.

Re: Baby name help!
 

yeah but thats the thing,he dont come up with nothing, everytime i ask him to tell me names he just say, i dont know

Re: Baby name help!
 

please dont choose a double barreled name.... they are really annoying!

yes...i have one!

Re: Baby name help!
 

oh my god, thats where i got it from too lol :eek:

the mermaid was called madison after madison avenue lol

Re: Baby name help!
 

If your partner has no input, he cant very well complain if he doesnt like the name you choose, you girls are good at ultimatums, lol, tell him if there is no input, Maddison it will be, that should make him come up with ideas.

Re: Baby name help!
 

Well I have two daughters and a granddaughter, my girls are called Julia and Tracy and the young un is Kirsty, funny really how both my girls were called Sean before they came into the world:D

Re: Baby name help!
 

It depends on your surname to. Don't forget to check the initials together as well! My boys are Samuel Alex and Thomas Oliver, our last name begins with 'M' so their initials spell out their short names, which we think is cool!

Personally I love the name Maddie but not Maddison. Whats your son called maybe stick to the same letter like Thomas & Tillie for example. As mentioned above is a very personal thing so take your time and play around with lots of names.

Re: Baby name help!
 

My son is called Carl like his dad, thats why this time i want to choose something, her surname will be Obrien so to me Madison Obrien sounded quite nice, like my mum said yesterday she could see a very intelligent young woman with that name

Re: Baby name help!
 

It does sound good Yolanda .. this name is definitely growing on me, and you certainly need a hard consonant before the vowel '0'. I think it sounds like a movie star, she will certainly stand out because of her name I think.

Re: Baby name help!
 

i suppose if it where upto your fella Yolanda he'd call her Carla ;) Madison Obrien sounds lovely, tell him to naff off ;)

Re: Baby name help!
 

Just don't give her a second christian name starting with '0' (see Romps's post) :D:D

Re: Baby name help!
 

Maddison it is then thats it, i think is growing on my bf as well

Re: Baby name help!
 

think it sounds great with the surname- go fer it is my 2 pennorth.:)

Re: Baby name help!
 

Yes Its growing on me Madison Obrien sounds strong. Will you choose a middle name or not............here we go again!!

Re: Baby name help!
 

I like the name stick to your guns Yol

Re: Baby name help!
 

I like the name too but think you should spell it with just the one d as in Madison rather than maddison...just a thought! :)

Re: Baby name help!
 

Maddison,,,what a lovely name.:alright:.....say your going to call her Bertha or Norah,or Peaches or Trixibelle ...your partner might decide he likes it after all...:dummy2:,good luck in your pregnancy

Re: Baby name help!
 

Madison is lovely my children all have quite traditional first names Rebecca, Jack and Katie, their middle names are taken from family anne-marie my mum and micks mum, jacks is alan but i really wish i had called him jack michael-alan , and katie is amie-louise my best friend and micks sister.

Good luck stick to your guns you carry her for 9 months you choose!.

Re: Baby name help!
 

Im sure even you with your diminished mental capacity can choose a name Yolanda. Just remember to spell it right.:tongueout

Re: Baby name help!
 

I always said that i'd call a boy Harry, i've always liked it and its my Great Grandads name. Everyone thinks now though that i've named him after Harry Potter, although this isn't true. He is called Harry Mark. I wanted his middle name to be after my Dad but my Dad is called Gary. Harry Gary.....!!! I don't think so. So i took my Dads middle name which is Mark.

If I ever have a girl i'd like to call her Rhiannon.

Re: Baby name help!
 

i was gonna call the baby harry as well if he was to be a boy after my grandad as well lol

Re: Baby name help!
 

never asked you for your opinion so shut it!

Re: Baby name help!
 

i would call her what you want
as i wanted to call my daughter mikyla dawn after my mother in law and my own mum but my boyfriend said he didnt like it and he chose daniella, so i said okay but now she is regesistered as daniella i hate the name and i cant change it now.

Re: Baby name help!
 

Nothing wrong with that spelling Yolanda....Good on ya.:theband:

Re: Baby name help!
 

Noyou asked the forum and as i am part of this forum it is your own doing. Why do you need a internet forum to come up with a name?

Re: Baby name help!
