What is your opinion on using Madrigal or Lark as a name for a baby girl?
A madrigal is a short medieval lyric poem or a type of 16th century secular song.
A lark is a song bird.

I don't personally care for Madrigal, but it's more a sound/appearance thing. On first glance, it looks a LOT like Madigan (which immediately brings the "small dog" meaning to mind LOL), and from there my mind goes to "mongrel" (again, just a visual association). So not one I could personally use. ;)
I actually do like Lark, but prefer it as a pet form of Larkin -- which CAN be a simple elaboration of Lark itself, carrying the same meaning, but can also be related to Laurence/Laurel and is also used as an Anglicized and/or feminine form of Lorcan. In other words, Larkin still offers the obvious song bird, nature name sort of reference, but also has a more substantial feel (in my mind) given the association with other more familiar given names. Just a personal preference. :)

I think they're both beautiful but I prefer Lark...only because I know that there is a type of cheese called Madrigal.

Before I got more details on the question I thought they were boy names. Probably most people would think so. Lark might work as a middle name though.

I think Madrigal is lovely. I'm not usually into "unique" names, but you've sold me on that one.
Lark sounds like a boys name somehow. I'm sure I've seen it as a male character in a book.

I don't like Madrigal at all. Instead of that, why not Lyric? I like that. Lark is ok.

I believe that it is best not to ask a question that you do not really want to hear the answer to.
You asked. Here goes.
No. Neither.
Got something with less sharp consonants on the ends of it?
Best Wishes

I think she will preferred to be called "Maddy" after she gets into school.
Think of this kids future with those names.
