Is Madeline classic or trendy?
| Thu, 02-15-2007 - 7:49pm |
I have loved the name Madeline for years but now is it becoming trendy?
How about the name Preston? I have loved that for years but now it is on Grey's Anatomy so is it

Madeline is and always will be classic.
If I had to break it down, I'd say the nn Maddy has become trendy, especially with the popularity of Madison, and people are branching out to other names that lend themselves to that trendy nn.
That doesn't make those names trendy in the least, though if trendiness concerns you, a simple solution is to use a less-common, more classic nn than Maddy. There are plenty. ;) A Madeline called Della or Millie, for example, doesn't come across as the least bit trendy. Love it!

Madeline has become the new big trend, especially the nickname Maddie.
If you like the nn Maddie... you should consider my grandmother's sister's name, which was Hattie... very similar, very old-fashioned and adorable.
Preston is getting popular because of Britney Spears' son, Sean Preston. Keep that one in mind. ;)

Yes, Madeline has become very popular but I still think of it as classic. It's a name that has been around for a very long time, has become very popular, but will always be around ... like Matthew & Michael.
I haven't heard anything in the way of Preston.
I wouldn't call Preston trendy at all, I have never met anyone with the name.
Madeline is for sure a classic, but the similar Madison is REALLY trendy, which isn't great as they are so close in sound, and both Madison and Madeline often use the nn Maddy.

Madeline is a classic name that is currently fashionable (or trendy) to use. Trendy is not necessarily a bad thing! Maybe there should be a new description for some names: "classically trendy."
Anyway, I think Madeline is a beautiful name and if you've loved it for years, you should use it!
The only Preston I've ever heard of is Brittney Spears' son, Sean Preston.
Madeline is a lovely classic, but Preston reminds me of this guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1035634/
Eeewww.
