I feel like everyone was naming their kid this around 5-10 years ago, and even before it was in super common usage. While I've known one or two my age (late 20s), most of them seem to pre-teens or teens now, that I know.
A slew of Maddies.
Therefore it is a bit worn and tired for me. It isn't the worst name, but even so, I'd prefer
Madeleine or something more classic in the same vein.
Other names that I think are like
Madison are
Riley,
Savannah,
Sienna... all of which aren't much my style.
I can see why other people like them. I don't think they are just atrocious or anything, they just don't speak to me personally.
