Christine
Our daughter, Addison Michele, is going to be 1 yrs. old next month. It's a unique name and everyone loves it and comments on it when they find out her name.
Shannon
My daughters name is Addisyn Lilia. Everyone loves her name! The original meaning on the name is son of Adam so we changed the spelling to eliminate the 'son' part of the word.

Horrible horrible name for a girl. Masculine and awful. Shannon, changing the spelling does not change the meaning. It is still masculine and still awful for a girl. You just made it worse by making you and her look illiterate.

Only for Addisons!
