Madelyn has been on the top 1000 list since 1893. If it's a misspelling, then it's one with plenty of history.

Oooh, good point (m) (edited)
Thanks for letting me know. However, just because something has been in use for a long time doesn't make it legit. Clinton has been in the top 1000 since 1900. It's still a surname.
