" Madden " ... WOW i really, really like it ... BUT my only concern would be if it got shortened by others to Mad (like as in crazy) or sound similar to Madam (??)
... Could the spelling be changed ?? ... (how lovely would it be that his Grandfather had some imput to his name, would make it extra special )
thanks for your reply, i guess it's all going to come down to gut instinct on the day! My mum always said (after 4 of us) that you'll know when they get here, apparently we "looked" like our names, lol.
except my brother... he was meant to be a girl... Tahlee.. he ended up a michael - suits him much better!
Doesn't sound girlie to me, but that's cause I thought of the good Charlotte boys when I read it. Much better than Sparrow
I agree with CharlieBrownGirl, Maddy sounds like Matty to me.
It's a groovy name but I guess that because it's a little like a surname then you would have to make sure it sounds like a first name when matched with your surname iykwim...
I just asked my DH and he said "oh what 'mad-one'?", he he he...I didn't think of that, it's even groovier now!!
I love Madden! It's different and not too common yet.
It's one of the names I suggested but DH didn't like it. He is insisting on Jaggar if we have a boy and I cannot for the life of me talk him out of it!
Maybe if you want to avoid people thinking you named him after Good Charlotte try changing the spelling, perhaps Maddan or Maddon instead? We did that with ours because of the whole Rolling Stones thing.
