Is the world full of rabid “Splash” fans all of a sudden?
Possibly. Or our fourth president has a much bigger following than I ever imagined. As many people have noted, like increasingly popular Mac- and Mc- names like Mackenzie and McKenna, Madison is a male-line family name. It means “son of Maud.” Perfect for a little girl. Just to ruin the gag for everybody, in “Splash,” when Daryl Hannah says she wants to be called “Madison,” it’s a joke. Because Madison is the name of an avenue, a signer of the Constitution and a city in Wisconsin, not a name for a pretty blonde lady. Not like Daryl.Q: ur a terribl persin! u shouldnt make fun of kid’s!A: I’m not, I’m making fun of the parents. These people’s priorities are WAY out of whack. I’ve cut from most entries the parts about teasing because it’s too repetitive, but most express some fear their delicate offspring will be teased as kids, and so they try to protect them by giving them “tease-proof” names.
