My Name is Sam and I was born in the'sixties. i've come to like me name over the years - so much so, I named my son Sam, as well. Downside, It's a very popular pet name. Also, it tends to get confused with other three letter names including Max and Ben. Upside, people never'seem to have bad experiences with people named Sam and It's hard to think of a bad person named Sam. Also, you have Samuel as a "Formal" name and mostly, Sams don't like to be called Sammy. Lastly, you will have to live with the "Sam I Am" thing, but really, It's not so bad!

This name is my surname'spelt Maddison and has deep roots in the English county of Durham where the Maddison family can be traced back to the 1100's as customary tenants of the Bishop of Auckland at a place called Allergill and then Unthank Hall in Stanhope. The earliest records note spelling Maddison, Maddyson, Maddysonne, Maddeson. Like all names with 'son' Maddison is known on the continent as Maddisson among other'spelling variations. Literally means son of Mad or Maddy which was actually a forename of men and probably women. Due to naming traditions with the 'son' addition, Mad was most likely referred to as a man. Such a name is similar to Ericsson (son of Eric) or Olafsson (son of Olaf). The children were generally named for their fathe's i.e. Ericsson or Ericdatter (Eric's daughter) and not commonly for their mothe's so it is very unlikely the name means son of Maude or Matilda, I have found no historical evidence of this. If a Maddy settled in Scotland it could have become known as MacMaddy (son of Maddy) The Maddison family boasts some famous individuals although due to the continental naming traditions they are likely not all related as they could be sons of different Mads and when moved to England the'surname became fixed to each generation. There are a few knights and wealthy businessmen (no evidence President James Madison decedents from this family as YDNA does not match). Most Maddisons were miners from the Durham/Northumberland area with the Maddison's from Partney boasting some Royal lineage due to marriage. Maddison is a great name, but the world is ignorant to its true meaning and history. In fact it had been used hundred of years ago when sons were named for their mothe's maiden name. So wear the name proudly as you honor my family and its history.

of course the unisex factor comes into play with this name quite often. I remember being teased about it when I was little. The name'still creates some confusion (a few months ago I was introduced to a new friend who, shaking my hand, said, "weren't you supposed to be a girl❤️")
