Madeleine nn

Do you think Adele is an acceptable nickname for Madeleine? Also how do you feel about the name Adele considering the singer Adele is all over the radio/tv? If you love the name would that stop you from using it? I like the singer and all but wouldn't want people to think I named my daughter after her.

29W2D and we don't know if we are having a boy or girl!

I love the name and wanted to use it 3 years ago. I'm not sure I would anymore, because I don't like popular names, and she does make it more popular. But, I think it also helps make the name seem more "normal" for those who don't like out-there names, so I would be happy to see it around regardless of her.

And, I see the nn, but would never use it and it probably wouldn't stick unless you only called her Adele. I love Madeleine, but would never use it thanks to the nn Maddy.

Thats my issue with Madeleine too- serious dislike for Maddy. I also prefer names that are not popular. My name is Aspen and I love it- I'd love to find a different name for a girl that isn't "strange" or hard to spell. Any suggestions? What did you use for your girl?

I have a Cressa, which is a Greek word "golden" that is also tied to the name Cressida. And, a Cora, which is also Greek.
