I know one child named Marianna and about a million kids named Madeline. Both are nice names. I'd choose Marianna since you've liked it for so long and since it's less common.

+1. You just won't avoid Maddy, especially once she starts school. Plus it's so past its peak. Pick the name you've loved forever and be a little weird with the pronunciation.

+2. Love Marianna and haven’t heard it or met any little Marianna’s at all.


+3. My 6yo has a friend named Madeline--have never met a Marianna. I like it.

We have a Madeline in school who is always Madeline. She prefers it and corrects teachers and friends when needed. Both are lovely names!

Have you considered Mary-Anna as a name? Then you'd get the pronunciation you wanted.

Otherwise, Madeline is a very nice name.


I like that spelling too.

Perhaps it is but it doesn’t dissuade me

Pronounced “Mary-Anna”. I just love it- I wouldn’t do a nickname. I wanted a baby named this since about 4th grade.

Madeline is also dear to my heart but I’m not too crazy about the nickname Maddie.

Thoughts?
