U/Helpful_Wave: \"The name Madison for a girl has been one of the most popular girls names since 1990, but prior to 1985 was practically nonexistent going back millennia.

In 1985, the movie ‘Splash,’ with Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah, debuted and was a global hit in multiple languages. Darryl Hannah's character, the mermaid, chose to go by the name ‘Madison’ after ‘Madison Square Park,’ because her mermaid name shattered all the glass in ¼km radius.
