I love Magda! It isn't a common name where I live, so I don't have any age associations with it. I think it sounds fresher than the longer/frillier versions of the name.

Call it "old" but there is something I unflinchingly love about Magda. I think it's spunky. Supermodel Magdalena Frackowiak might have something to do with it.

I don't think of it as Old-Lady like at all, I feel it's young and nice. The two Magda's I've met have all been under 18.

I actually like it as a more no-nonsense version of Magdalene, but with the same sound and feel. I've never heard it before and so don't have any impression of it as an old lady name.
