Addison

Sorry, but neither one of these names.
Because it means "Adam's SON" and "Maud's SON".

Madison, though I really like Addison, too

Addison...

At least it's vaguely like Allison. And it isn't "mad" .

Madison makes me think of rashes for some reason. Also Addy > Maddy

Definitely Madison. I actually like it, but I seriously wouldn't use it. It's too common and I hate the nickname Maddy. I hate Addison. It just seems to awkward sounding.

I kind of prefer Addison for a boy (I think) but I'm more used to Madison on a girl.

Ugh. That's a mean one.
Addison, I think. But barely. They both suck bigtime.

---

Edited to add: I think Adsy would be a cute saving nickname

I don't love it, but it's fine and doesn't make me cringe like Madison. Also, I like Addy.

I dislike Abigail, which makes me think of Abby, which makes me think of Addy. Which is better than Minusy or Timesy, but still not good.

---

Madeline, with that spelling, was used in my family in the 1890s - the one I know about was named Madeline May and always called May, so I've got no Maddy associations. I'd choose Madison, though, if absolutely necessary, because of it not being Addison!

I like Madison best. I like the m-sound. I think the name sound more completely than Addison.

Madison at least has some balance to it. Addison seems top-heavy.

Addison but seriously for a boy. Either way, I much prefer Addison over Madison, so... Hmmm

Probably Addison.

---

I like Addy more than Maddy and I like Addison Montgomery from Grey's Anatomy.

---

Madison was the name of a bunch of girls who I knew and liked okay, but never was really friends with.

Addison, if I had to choose.

---

I'm not fond of girls' names ending in -son, but at least with Addison you don't have name starting with "Mad" (though Madeleine is a recent exception to this rule of mine).

Madison

---

I'm one of the few ones here who doesn't mind either. =D

---

I'd go with w/ Madison if I had to but I do like Addison.

It's not that bad. Now that I've met a couple of them and the memory of the stupid mermaid is fading. I sometimes think people resent it because it's kind of nice, and they don't want it to be nice. Alison + Madeline.
Addison is bad IMO, because of the disease and because to me it sounds like an ugly distortion of Alison.

Addison

You had to go there, didn't you?

No...it...can't....be.....done.....

Okay: Madison. Simply because I find it slightly less repulsive than Addison. At least there is no Madison's Disease. The entire three syllables are just marginally better with an M at the beginning.
