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.
