Name Help - Chicago,IL

Juliana is a lovely name and I like Margot. This is going to sound really wierd, but the spelling of "Margot" seems a little stark next to Juliana, but is "sounds" pretty together. I would definitely pick #1- TONS of Madelyn's out there right now. In my son's preschool class he has three (all spelled differently)!

I like Juliana better but to me with the two names together it instantly reminded me of the actress Julianna Marguilies from 'ER'. Not that that is a bad thing
Both are pretty names though
Good Luck

Madelyn-don't like Margot either. Think about the nicknames, for a child, too. What will you actually call her?

Juliana Margot

There are fifty million Madelyn, Madelein, Madeleine, Maddielynn, Madilin, Madylyn, (you get the picture) girls out there.

Juliana is a beautiful, classic name that fits a baby, a young girl, a teenager, and a woman.

Juliana! Way to many Madelyn, Madalyn, whatevers out there right now!

I like Juliana very much. I'm not sure about Margot as the middle name.

I know about 100 Madelyn's, Maddison's, Maddie's under the age of 5 or so. Only a slight exaggeration...

Here's info from the Social Security site about baby name popularity. I find this very helpful and interesting.

I prefer Juliana Margot. Madelyn is just too common IMO.

I love Juliana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't like Margot at all. So either Madelyn Jane or Madelyn Julianna.

I like Madelyn BUT there have been at least TWO in my daughter's class for the last couple years. It seems to be getting really common. Personally, I don't like that.

I like Madelyn Jane, probably because I have friends with both of those names. Best wishes for a healthy baby girl!

Both are cute! I vote for Madelyn Jane.

Madelyn Jane - Love it!

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I like Madelyn Jane. I love the name Maddie. :)

I would need to know your last name to understand how all three names sound together. We did a lot of this when picking names for all three of our kids...to look at the initials...what happens if you shorten the first name (Julia or Maddy) and combine it with the last name.
I have a cousin named Madelyn and love this name.

Juliana Margot.

Do you know how many Maddies are out there??!!

But I prefer two n's: Julianna

Madelyn Jane! Pretty!

Juliana Margot...sounds beautiful.

Madelyn Jane. How pretty!

Which one goes best with your last name? Try them both out in any and every way you can think of. Madelyn Jane Weaver, concertmaster of the orchestra. Juliana Margot Warner, PhD. Juliana Margot West of West and Associates, "Madelyn Jane Witherspoon, don't make me come up there!" See which one finally sings back to you.

I like Juliana better but don't like Margot either. What about Juliana Christine? Good luck to you ! What about Juliana L.?

I like #2. My almost 2 yr-old daughter's name is Madeline and notion that there are 50 million Madelines out there like people below are saying is really not true. And I live in Chicago like you - my son is in school so we meet a lot of kids. Not that many Madelines. Check out nameberry.com - cute site that specializes in baby names. Madeline (any spelling) is #92 on the girls' names list! And it's not on parents.com top 10 girl names for 2010 either (not sure how far down their list it is). Anyway I think it was a really common name a few years ago, so the influx of Madelines will be quite a bit older than your baby. Plus who cares how many Madelines are out there if you love the name?

Love the name Juliana (not crazy about the spelling of "Margot"....have you considered Margaux?)

I like both first names, really, but I thought Margot was Magot at first glance. That may be something to consider when you daughter is on the playground. However, middle names aren't as known to other kids.

I like Juliana but I'm not sold on Margot.

I like them both. But if I had to chose one it would be Madelyn Jane - it's very nice! I like Juliana (that's my daughters name!) but not with Margot.

This is a hard one: I like the name Juliana better but I think Madelyn Jane sounds better together because I don't like the name Margot.

Go with your gut on which one you like the best. You can't go wrong with either one of them. They are both beautiful.

I like Madelyn Jane. Will you call her Maddy?

I LOVE them both. So much so that they are both my daughters names! Good luck in choosing.

juliana, madelyn sounds nice on a child, but if you go with it why not try the more traditional spelling. be unique with the name you chose not how you spell it.

Don't like Margot at all. So either Madelyn Jane or Madelyn Julianna.

Madelyn Jane. Say the name over and over plus nicknames, especially with your last name. That's how we nixed the first name we had for DD-- We had Rebecca picked out but we knew it would turn into Becky and with our last name sounded like a stripper with no college degree. ;)

Good luck and congrats!!

Madelyn Jane

To me, Juliana Margot does not flow real well.

Madelyn Jane, sounds real nice.
