Oh, sorry, I do not like
Madison. Like queenv, I was stunned the first time I heard of it. One of my co-workers was pregnant with a girl, and told me she and her husband were considering the name
Madison. Huh? I was so taken aback, I don't think I said anything. This was around 1993. Of course, it has become very, very popular, but I'm still puzzled. What is the appeal?
I since have known a couple of Madisons, and Madisons called
Maddy.
Maddison, like
Madison = awful.
Mattison = worse.
And while we're on the subject, what is with people using the name
Addison? Terrible. Reminds me of the disease, or an adder (snake). Ick.
