What does everyone think about the name "Madison Paige" for a girl? I am really set on the first name, but still playing around with the middle name so any suggestions are welcome.

Honestly, I think it's very common. But not everyone goes for unusual names, so I guess that is okay. I just feel that Madison started out as a very contrived name-- I mean, I think it came into usage as a name from the movie Splash. For some reason, it just took off as a bona-fide name for girls. I personally was never a fan...but that's just me. The other reason why I don't care for it too much is b/c it ends in "-son". I mean, a son, obviously, is a male child, so I don't understand why parents pick names for their girls that end in "-son". Maybe I'd like it a little better as Madisanne. *shrugs* I don't know...


As far as a middle name goes, I'd pick something that's very feminine and not over-used-- something that is unique but yet not unusual.


best of luck to you!
