I really like it, it has a vintage European vibe. It's considered a grandma name here in Spain. This is my favourite form/variant, but I also like
Madeline and
Madelina. I'd use the nicknames
Magda,
Maggie and
Lena, the latter being my preferred.
Magdalena AdelaideMagdalena CharlotteMagdalena ClaireMagdalena EloiseMagdalena EmmelineMagdalena GenevieveMagdalena IrisMagdalena JulietMagdalena RosalieMagdalena Vivienne
Speaking of songs, this name reminds me of
Sandra's
I'll Never Be (Maria Magdalena).
