No. No. No. No. No. No. NO! *Shakes head*. Sorry,

Madisyn is so trendy compared to the other names on your list, be careful :D Madelyn Elisabeth is lovely. You're slightly varying a very longterm & legitimate name and Elisabeth is the accepted alternative to Elizabeth.

I love all of your other name choices, but Madison has always made my skin crawl, and Madisyn is no different.

I'll be nice: I prefer Madeline Elizabeth or Matilda/Maud Elizabeth.

Sorry, it's overplayed, tired, and tacky, both the name and the kre'eatyve misspelling of the name. It's been done, done, and done again.

The attraction for excessive letter Ys has the big one of the biggest mystery fads for me. I think they will date themselves so bad.

---

Your other list of names is nice though (well, I don't really like Isabelle or Madelyn much).

I really *hate* Madisyn, sorry. It looks both tryndee and very trashy. A name like this would age horribly.

Madisyn, number one, is a mispelling, which I think would relfect badly on a parents. Number two, MadiSON is a boys name! Why give a girl a boys name? There are so many elegant, classy girls names that I feel would do much better than Madison/syn on a girl. Number 3. It will date very badly and is horrendously popular. Much like we associate "Gertrude" with old ladies today, Madisyn in time will easily give away your daughter's age. And at least Gertrude would have been a legitimate name on a girl. Madisyn will be of many Madisons in her class; in spoken terms, the y will not make her unique.

---

Elizabeth is a gorgeous, classic name. The Y really ruins it. To me, its spelled wrong. It looks tacky, imo

---

All the names on the secon dhalf are lovely.

Ava Nicolette
Ella Jacqueline
Imogen Sophia
Isabelle Therese
Madelyn Veronica
Phoebe Oriana

Yikes...(m)

---

I should warn you that on this board, neither misspelled classic names nor misspelled tryndee masculine surnames are appreciated...

---

Now, if you are serious: Do not insert random Ys. Madison Elizabeth is horrible. Madisyn Elyzabeth is beyond words. Madison is way trendy, way popular, a surname, and means "SON of Maud".

---

Ava and Ella are nice, but very popular. I love Isabelle, but prefer the spelling Isabel. Madelyn is horribly trendy and misspelled. I love Madeline said with a -line ending, but don't love it with a -lynn ending. I can't stand Imogen or Phoebe, but there's nothing wrong with them.

Madisyn Elyzabeth looks trendy as can be [M]

---

I love Madison, this way only. Madison Elizabeth or Madison Elisabeth is nice.

I dont like Madison however its spelt but somehow the lets add a Y
trend makes it worse in my opinion, spelling it with a y doesnt hide the fact that it is still Madison meaning son of Maud
Madisyn Elysabeth = Two trendy Y's Madison Elyzabeth or Madisyn Elizabeth would be slightly better

I can't picture anyone over the age of 3 named Madisyn Elyzabeth. I especially can't picture a lawyer, a doctor, or a grandmother named that.

---

Your other names are so much better. If you really love the name Madison (or any of its variants) and really want to use it, why not make it a middle name?

---

Here's some ideas. Do you like any of them?

---

Ava Madison
Ella Josephine
Imogen Rae
Isabelle Christine
Madelyn Sophia
Phoebe Grace

"Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?" -Benjamin Franklin

To be honest and frank, every time I come across a name that has been misspelled such as Madisyn and Elyzabeth, I have to shake my head and wonder what was going through the parents' mind when they chose that particular name. To me, Madison and Madisyn aren't even pronounced the same. Also, the '-son' at the end of Madison denotes 'son of'. The name lacks class as well as the ability to weather time and the trends that it brings and takes away. Furthermore, it lacks substance. I cannot imagine a Judge Madisyn Elyzabeth or a Granny Madisyn Elyzabeth. Ys are almost as misused as punctuation marks, IMO. It seems that many people want to replace a vowel with a Y.

---

I must say, your other choices for names are simply lovely. I'm not wild about Madelyn or Phoebe, but they're loads better than Madisyn.

---

Ava is breathtaking. How about:

---

Ava Catherine
Ava Melanie
Ava Ruth
Ava Niamh
Ava Madelyn
Ava Grace
Ava Caroline
Ava Lillian
Ava Gretchen

---

Ella is a sturdy, gorgeous name.

---

Ella Victoria
Ella Rachel

I don't like Madison no matter how you spell it, but I think Madison Elizabeth would be a lovely combo. Madisyn Elyzabeth looks like just another creative spelling name. Boring and trendy, boring and trendy. And illiterate looking. Madison Elizabeth itself is nice, though.

---

My suggestions:
Ava Josephine
Ella Beatrice
Imogen Olivia
Isabelle Victoria
Madelyn (Madeline) Sophia
Phoebe Larissa
