Check out the extremely cool Baby Name Wizard interactive name rank chart, and you'll see that other South Dakota towns haven't been able to break into the name racket with the same success as Madison. Junius had some cachet back in 1890, ranking 384th as a boy name, but it dropped off the chart in the 1950s. Winfred hung on for girls a little longer. The last 100 years haven't treated Chester well, but Colton is enjoying a healthy surge. Still, no sign of a boom in kids named Sioux Falls or Watertown.
So how do we turn the popularity of our name (Madison is also the eighth most popular town name in America) to our advantage? How about a Madison Discount Festival? Come to Madison during Crazy Days, prove your name is Madison, and the Chamber issues you a discount card that gets you half price on anything: lunch at Country Cafe, Blizzard at DQ, waders at Campbell's Supply, Jeep at Prostrollo's, anything! Think of all the lovely Madisons who would come to Madison... and bring their friends, who would still pay full price for everything. Brilliant!
