Madelein

Where Madelein comes from

Madelein hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1989
    Debut at its peak, #3,566
    #3,566 among girls with 28 babies — the first year it was published, and still its best.
  2. 1990
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #11,409.
