So my 3 year old daughter's name is Adyson. It is a unique name that I haven't heard very often. I fell in love more with the spelling than the name at first. When I first thought of it I tried different ways to spell it. I was looking for unique without being over the top. At first I cringed when anybody called her Ady but now it fits. I mostly call her Adyson but most of our family and friends call her Ady. Not only did I end up falling in love with the name but the way it went with her middle name. Adyson Marianna. It's strong yet femine.
