Part Hadley, part Madeline, Madley is an invented smoosh name for our times. Of course, it sounds like madly so that may put some parents off, though for others the intense meaning may be a good thing. Madley also sounds a little like Melody and a bit like medley, appealing musical associations.

This English surname was originally a nickname for someone with a pock-marked face. It's a less-than-ideal meaning, but Greeley's upbeat sound and modern unisex style keep it on our lists.

An alternative spelling of Katy, if you're more of a C person.
