Second most popular
Er...usually when people mention "second most", other people want to know what's the first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.25.229 (talk) 05:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Questioning Article's Origin of Name Info
My last name is Maddison and I am originally from Northern England. I did not update the article because I am unable to site reference articles. As I understand it, however, the roots of the name are related to a old profession called a "madder". Apparently a madder was associated with the care of horses.70.50.35.80 (talk) 17:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Popularity from 1985 due to Splash?

 * From a practically non-existent girl's name before 1985, Madison rose to being the second-most-popular name given to female babies in 2001.

Was this primarily because of the success of the film Splash? That article seems to say so.


 * That may be so, but Wikipedia is not a source for Wikipedia. We'd need a reliable secondary source to support any such assertion. Otherwise it's just speculation and not encyclopedic. J. D. Crutchfield &#124; Talk 17:15, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
