Maddy

One particular baby name trend that shows no sign of slowing down is converting traditional nicknames into first names. Like Maddy, a girl’s name that stems from the classic, more formal first names Madeleine, Matilda, and Madison. Traditionally, it means “of Magdala” in Hebrew, "strength in battle" in German, and “son of Maud” in English. Maddy has a cool and funky feel to it and sounds like someone who would have no trouble making friends in the playground!
