Fantastic, masculine name for a boy!

Too popular for girls now to be masculine anymore... Sorry boys, the girls got it! (Like so many other good boy's names, because of stupid, immature, selfish parents).

Personal experiences with the name Madison: | Edit

I'm an 18 year old male named Madison. I go by my middle name, William, because of the change in gender useage. I wasn't teased or anything, but comments like, "You don't see a lot of male Madisons anymore" or, "I have a female relative/friend/pet named Madison" get a little tedious. Earlier in life I used the nickname "Mady", which was misheared as "Matty", to avoid association with the female name.

I'd suggest avoiding Madison as a boys name, even though it may be unique, it's unique for boys because of a bad reason.
