Help[Opinions] Re: Madeline and Peter
in reply to a message by VickyBliss
Peter is my #1 name for a boy. Always has been and (knock wood) always will be. So I'm thrilled to see you considering it for a ds, even as a mn.
As for Madeline, I'd prefer Madeleine ("MAD-uh-lin") or Magdalene, but Madeline is equally nice.
If I recall my biblical controversies correctly, aren't there some who claim Mary Magdalene (= Madeline) was pushed out of influence by Peter? Perhaps the two of them are continuing their struggle through you and your dh, via the "Encyclopedia of Saints' Names." :-P
Jacob Leonard and Jacob Cosmas are nice. I'm just tired of Jacob right now.

Ah, Jacob.
I'm not that fond of it, however it's the name of my husband's grandfather. I really want to use both Leonard and Jacob for our first son. If my husband wasn't so stubborn about his hatred of Len I'd still do it.
As for the controversy, I'm not sure. :-D Part of the reason I love Magdalene so much is because of Mary Magdalene. I like Madeleine - I'll have to run it past my husband. My cousins used Madalyn.
