Why is Madison such a popular girls name?

Is it because the dad's all love the porn star name Madison, or because they love Dolly Madison doughnuts?

Why is Madison such a popular girls name?
It's because Madison is Wisconsin's capital. Or the porn star.

Reply:I think popular names actually rotate. When people try to avoid popular names, non-popular names become popular. The most popular name for 2006 is actually Emily. This page lists the most popular birth names in 2006.

Reply:I have no idea!! I personally hate it! I've noticed in working with young children that the trend of using Madison seems to be really popular with younger parents
Reply:I like Madelyn and kinda Madison because I like the nickname Maddie. I don't know why but I think that is such a cute nickname. I don't think I would name my kid that though. And I don't know who the porn star is or the doughnuts thing either...

Reply:It is because everyone is in love with the stigma of Madison Ave and Madison Sq Gardens. The name is surrounded with mystic and romance.
Reply:Because it's safe. Because parents don't put any thought into it, because it's a family name, because it's cute...


There's a list of reasons why names are so popular. But I guess alot of people have the same thinking.
Reply:i dont know, i live in NY, so it reminds me of Madison Ave. Its cute, but i could never name my daughter that because of the reason i would be always thinking of the avenue. lol
