I think I'd probably go with
Madison. It's not an easy choice. I'd rather be named
Madison than
Mackenzie, and that's really how I decided.
Mackenzie seems to me about ten years older than
Madison - too dated to use now.
Mackenzie is one of those tough-sounding surnamey doggie-names - like
Murphy and
Bailey.
Madison sounds like a blend of
Alison and
Madeline, so it seems more like it could be a woman's first name, to me. I don't love it, and ten years ago I'd probably have picked
Mackenzie because
Madison was more annoying. But now,
Mackenzie is more annoying.
