I love love LOVE the name Madeline. LOVE IT. However, I hate the nickname Maddie/Maddy.

What are some other nicknames for Madeline?
Could May/Mae be a nickname?
What about Maya/Maia?
What do you think of Madeline Amelia?

may/mae is a plausible nickname, i guess. the parents of the only madeline i've ever met called her maddie may. i don't think maya would work, though.

madeline amelia sounds nice.

I've heard Lane (or Laine, depending on your spelling preference) as a nickname for Madeline. I think May's fine, but Maya's too different. Madeline Amelia is a few too many syllables for my taste, but they're both lovely names.

I LOVE the name Madeline too. But I prefer it to be spelled Madelin. And I like Maddi for a nickname. But I like Miss Madelin as a nickname better.

I look after a little girl called Madeleine.
Although we do call her Maddie, she also gets;
Madden, Mads, Madson, Mattie, Miss May, Lynnie, Taddy, Moo... omg, so many more. lol. poor kid prolly is so confused by what her actual name is.

I think May/Mae works well. Thumbs up to Madeline Amelia. Madeline's a favorite of mine.

Our current first choice girls name is Madeleine Mae, my sisters wants to call her Maddy Mae, haha. I like Maddy, but I like Linny too. I think a lot of times kids sort of get their own nicknames that we never expected. My name is Erin and I'm sure my mom never expected that people would call me Ern or Ernie, but some do! :)

My daughter's name is Madeline and we just call her Madeline. I correct anyone that calls her Maddie because I don't like it either! She is 3 and has corrected people herself :)
