I don't hate it the way a lot of people do, but I don't like it either. Mostly, I'm sick of it. Every boss I've had since 1997 has had a Madison (2/3 of them were Madison Rose). It seems like there's at least one Madison in every classroom, on every team, at every playground. There are two Madisons in my son's class, making Madison H. and Madison R. the only kids in the class who are doubling up on a name. They're everywhere. Just the thought of tallying up all the Madisons I've met, especially since I became a parent and really started spending a lot of time around small children, makes me tired.

If if weren't so overexposed, I'd probably like it more because I do think it's kinda cute, and I like the possiblity of Maddy. I don't think all Madisons automatically end up being called Maddie/Maddy, though.
