I would probably call her Lenny Lou but that's just me. Lena or Laney are great nn's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-madeleine#post-1984027 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:57:37 +0000 MenagerieMama 1984027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: Agree! This is my LOs name (spelled differently though) and we call her Maddy and Mads (and Madalicious and all other kinds of things!). Maybe it will grow on you, we love it :) Also our last name is one of the NN suggestions above so that wouldn't have worked for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-madeleine#post-1984009 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:40:52 +0000 prettylizy 1984009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could just not use a NN. My sister just goes by her full name and never had a short form or NN. Same with my is bestie and Niece and they all have names that could be nick'd.

I personally think the nn is adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-madeleine#post-1983952 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:46:41 +0000 snickers 1983952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend has a 3 year old girl Madeleine (actually pronounced Mad-e-lin) who is called Lainey - she is gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-madeleine#post-1983922 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:16:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1983922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lena is not too far of a stretch.

However, I am not a fan of Maddy or Maddie...any thoughts on an alternative NN? I like Lena but I am not sure if it's too much of a stretch. I realize that a child will be called what they are called and if "she" likes Maddie, then more power to her.<br /> Any suggestions? :happy: </p>
