Close enough to Madison and Madelyn that it doesn't sound too out there, Maddyx is currently a quietly used gender-neutral name in the US, given to 8 boys and 7 girl in a recent year. Maddox by contrast was chosen for 1665 boys and 88 girls.

Mayble is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Mabel, which derives from the Latin 'amabilis' meaning 'lovable.' This alternative spelling gives the classic name a more distinctive, modern twist while maintaining its gentle sound. Mabel itself was quite popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries before declining, and has seen a modest revival as vintage names return to fashion. The Mayble variant, however, has always been extremely rare. It carries the same warm, friendly character as Mabel but with a unique spelling that might appeal to parents wanting something familiar yet uncommon. The 'May' beginning also evokes springtime associations of renewal and growth.
