madeline


or .Mada.lynn

I would choose either #1 or #3.

Same here

#1 is a different name that the rest.

#1 is pronounced mad-ah-line (rhymes with pine or fine).

the rest are mad-ah-linn (rhymes with tin or bin).

i prefer the first one but i have a feeling you're going for mad-ah-linn, so i would go with #3.

Oh Really? I thought Madeline was pronounced Ma-da-lin also.

Can someone verify that?

Madeline is pronounced mah-de-line (rhymes with twine, whine, fine)

.madelyn (and the others) is pronounced mah-duh-len (rhymes with fin, twin, grin)

the "e" on the end gives it a long "i" sound. Drop the e, and it gives it the short "i" sound, like in bin or tin. There's actually a cartoon about a girl called .madeline. I think it's about a little french orphan.

According to the names websites, Madeline is pronounced Ma-de-Lin.

I like Ma-de-lin more than Ma-de-line. But now I worry that if I name her Madeline, people are going to start pronouncing it Ma-de-line and that would frustrate me. But then again, I like this spelling more than the -lyn spelling...

Gosh. Now I'm stuck.

this is the cartoon I was talking about. It's definitely .mah-de-line. At least that's how they pronounce it in .france, and I believe it is a french name.

Name her whatever you like, hon. Some people might mispronounce it anyway, but there's not much you can do about that.

I like #3.

Madaline is a nice spelling, but they are correct, someone will pronounce it wrong.

I like #1 the best myself

madeline is mah-dah-lin in the UK
sorry girls I had a classmate with the name and another classmate had a sister by that name.

Incidentally I prefer this spelling

madeline can be pronounced either way. but i think most everyone (at least in the .u.s, i am guessing) would think it was .mad-uh-line. i like it better than .madilyn, though.

yeah i read it mad-uh-line too.... hmm i guess it depends on where u live. but what ever perfer go with that, just keep in mind what youe child may think of it when shes older
