    So at first i went with blair and that worked ok but my best friend slipped back into using my birth name after spending time explaining me to one of her relatives and after a while i realised it wasn't the name i wanted (altough it is used with females quite a lot i felt as if it didn't fit me) and so after some deliberation i went with Maddison (shortened to Maddie) and i find that this name suits me and my friend has no trouble at all adressing by this name.

    Now i am considering adding a second first name, my current decided but not legally changed name line up is: first: Maddison. middle: Blair (i demoted it to middle).
    I am considering adding Lilith on as second first name since i really like the name Lilith but also equally like Maddison.

    I also feel that the contraction "Mad Lily" works as a good name for my usual persona, all in all i am wondering if i should go ahead and add the second name or if there are any other names that work better with my current line up?
