[Opinions] Re: Since that's not how it's usually pronunced...(m)
in reply to a message by Vesta
I like Madeline the best, since it lends itself to so many pronunciations. I call that Maddie MAD-ah-LYNE, so it's an easy guess to say that it's my favourite of the conventional pronunciations.I have a guilty pleasure form of it, though, and that's Madelaine, pronunced MAD-uh-LAYNE. I'd never use it, but I think it's lovely. (I like most names that end in the "lane" sound--another I really love is Helaine.)Array
