Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge had their baby this morning. It's a girl named Maddie Briann. I personally think the name is awful, but in celebrity land, it could be much worse. WDYT?

Maddie? Briann?

I suppose Briann is pronounce like Bri-ANNE and not like Brian?
I really don't like Maddie, either.

God, it seems like only a few month back we found out she was pregnant.

Anyway, I really like Maddie
Briann isn't my favourite but I think it works.. :)

Potato Sundeck cracked me up.

I kinda like Maddie (My sister is Madeleine but goes by Maddy, so I have a soft spot for it). Briann isn't my favourite, but it's okaaaay.

It's icky, and looks... I dunno, like parts are missing. But they're celebs, so it's not the worst. :P

I second the parts-are-missing feeling!
Had it been Madeline Brianne, then kudos to them. But I guess it would have been way too classier than their names, and no one wants a daughter to overshine them :P

Also, the two Spears have a brother Bryan, which makes it a little more weird to me.

Briann is terrible. Maddie is a nickname, not a full name. It could be worse, but it's still bad.

I would really love this name if Maddie was a nickname for something and not the full name. It definitely could be worse, though, you're right!

Yuck, but it certainly could be worse.

It also makes me sad that a good majority of the comments at OhNoTheyDidnt involve thinking the name Maddie is cute.

I love Maddie - as a nickname
Briann, it's okay, but it would look better like Brianne. But you're right, for a celeb, it's not bad at all!
I was just reading today that she wanted to name the baby after a mix of his and her names - either Cailynn (ugh) or Cassie (cute, and while I don't usually like nn's as full names, it wouldn't have been that bad). Guess they changed their minds.

Wasn't Britney going to name her kid Jailynn after Jamie Lynn if it was a girl?

I really like Kaelyn or Cailin as a name, but not Cailynn. I guess Maddie's better than that.

I hope the name rumors are false and the kid is really Madeline Brianne or something.

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. Maddie is cute as a nn and I like Briann spelled Brianne.

At least it's better than Jayden James.

Meh...
I second it would have been better as Madeline Brianne, not that I like either name, but it could have been a lot worse!
Good luck to them! Lets hope they do better than Britany has!

I just can't see Maddie as a full name.

Madison Brianne would be better, but it's not that bad.

Briann looks like it could be for her older brother, Bryan. I've been waiting for this post, haha, I've been waiting to see what it would be. I don't mind either name, and compared to things like Pilot Inspektor and Peaches, this is a major win.

I like it! Although I would've perferred Madeleine Brianne.

I've just been watching Twin Peaks, so I can't hear the name Maddie without thinking of a pretty gruesome death sequence.

The FULL name is Maddie? Sign. Maybe she is Mad(die) that she got knocked up.

Madeline Brianna wouldn't have been so bad...

see Maddie is a cute name the only problem I have with it is that it's so much of just a little girl name to me. I can't see a full grown woman with it :\

that being said though, one of my naming pet peeves is to give the full name but then call the kid by a nickname. if you're gonna call them by the nickname just name them that from the get go!

i like maddie if it's short for madison or madeline.
i'm not a big fan of briann, but it's not too bad.

Actually, I'm a little dissapointed in the name choice. It's a cute name and all but I was hoping for something a little more unique.

Briann is grody.
Maddie would be cute...as a nick name.

My grandmommy and I were talking about this, and she wrote it off as an unfortunate nod to how young she is. I wonder why she gave her daughter a nickname that won't grow with her past the age of 15, and why she spelt the middle name so off. Ugh.

But yes, it could be worse. *cringe*

I thought for sure they would have included "Lynne" somewhere in the name.

Personally, I think the name just shows off the fact that her mother is only 17 and not quite an adult, yet.

From: [identity profile] smallandneedy.livejournal.com
^^ I agree with you, juniorfan

I don't mind Maddie, but to me it's a nickname for Madeline or Matilda or something like that.
Briann just makes me want to say Brian, the boys name, which also annoys me since Jamie Lynn's older brother's name is Bryan.

It's be better if it was Madison Brianne.
I agree that it does show off that the mother is young.
But it could have been mucccch more worse.

Wow, talk about 4mth pregnancy! :p

I guess Maddie Briann is good... its not something out there like Tandem Skydiver :p or something stupid like that.

I like it. I wouldnt choose it myself but its nice

Maddie is cute

Briann I think is a combo of family names

Bryan is her brother
the ending nn is like Lynn...for her and her mom
Bri - also the first 3 letters of Britney

So when you really think about it she has her mom, herself, her brother and Britney all somehow honored in her daughters middle name

I think thats pretty cool..and Briann sounds nice with Maddie
