See, those make no sense to me either. They still mean "Son of." The only -son name I can think of that doesn't mean that is Allison, which is a diminuative of Alice.
i'm with you, overall even madison/addison are masculine sounding, but i've seen them on too many girls that i've been swayed. and yes, allison is definitely the only truly feminine -son name.
That's true. If I were to see the name Madison or Addison written, I would assume it was a girl because they're so popular on girls. But secretly I would hope it was a boy. I do the same thing with Mackenzie. I love Mackenzie on a boy, but no sense does it make on a girl. :)
