Madison means "Daughter of Matthew." So perfect since she's such a daddy's girl in looks and love.
Her middle name, Mae, is special for many reasons. First, and most insignificant, for the simple reason that she did, in fact, come in May (we were worried they for a minute, thinking she'd wait it out in Momma's tummy clear into June). But there are many people who share that special middle name with Maddie (we didn't really even realize this to its full extent until after she was born and relatives kept popping out of the woodwork)!
Mike (Kaye's big brother) and Emily's little girl, Amy, shares this middle name with Madison.
Amy was named this because of her and Maddie's great-grandma Clyda "Mae." Some of Clyda's friends used to call her Clyda Mae even though it wasn't her name. When she submitted her wedding announcement to the San Juan Record, the editor just assumed she forgot to put it in her article and kindly added it:)
On Matt's side, there is a slew of Maes! He has an Aunt Julie MAE and a cousin, her daughter, Maggie MAE.
Matt's Grandpa has a sister, Ralphie Mae. And his great-grandma, Flossie, shared the middle name Mae as well.
Madison Mae has a legacy of great Maes to look up to. What a lucky, special name (and we didn't even know)!
