If you want lenn/lynne I would go with Madeleine personally. It just seems to look incer to me.

I like the name, but it's soooooo incredibly popular! My favorite combo is Madeline Ava, but I like Madeline Emilia too. Madeline Josephine is too rhymey for me. I also MUCH prefer the spelling Madeleine.

Madeline Emilia (although I prefer Amelia).

I really like the name Madeline
I like it spelled Madeline and pronounced Mad-uh-lynn/lenn

---

I really like Madeline Emilia (although I much perfer Amelia)
I really don't the name Brie
I kind of like the rest of the middle names

I like Madeleine Brie and Madeleine Genevieve.

Madeline Ava seems the most balanced to me. The others seem either far too long or (in Brie's case) just a bit too topheavy. Of course, my friend is a Madeline Ann, so I'm very biased. ;)

I like Madeleine Genevieve best

I prefer the French spelling Madeleine (Ma-deh-lenn). Madeline (Mad-uh-linn) is pretty too. But I don't like Madeline rhyming with Caroline.

I don't know for sure whether people are more like to say "lyn" or "line" for Madeline, but I'd personally say "line". For the "lyn" or "len" pronunciation I do only like Madelyn, but "len" is the normal pron. for Madeleine so I'd use that one :-)

---

Madeleine needs a shorter middle name than Genevieve, Josephine and Emilia (as much as I love Emilia ... Actually Emilia Madeleine would flow OK). Ava and Brie flow better but are too popular and currently trendy.

I like Madeline Ava (with the Mad-uh-lynn pronunciation, but the Madeline-speling). Madeline Emilia's also good.

I agree with Jacks and Shana about the pronounciation, not in a bad way but I would definitly go for Madeleine (mah-duh-len/lyn) or Madeline (mah-duh-line).

---

They just 'fit' better with their spellings that way :)

---

Madeleine Genevieve is absolutely beautiful, I really love it
Madeleine Josephine is also very pretty but doesn't flow as well
Madeleine Emilia I find difficult to say for some reason
Madeleine Ava would be cute but I think Madeleine needs a more classic or unusual name as Ava is so trendy right now
Madeleine Brie - Brie isn't really a name to me, my initial impression would be that the parents were trying to be French

My favourite names are Isaac Atticus, Miller Gabriel, Lily Annabel and Freya Clara

I like the combo Madeline Ava the best.

Madeline Emilia

I really like them all. Madeline Emilia is my favorite. The only one that I don't think flows very well is Madeline Ava, but it's still nice.

---

I've really started to love the name Josephine as a mn. It goes great with Madeline!

I pronounce Madeline as Mad-eh-lyn. I used to like the name (it used to be on my "Other Names I Like For Girls" list), but now I find it ugly and unflattering. Sorry. I, too, dislike the spelling Madelyn, as I find it trendy, with the -lyn ending. Sorry, but I don't care for your middle name choices, but if I had to choose a combo, it'd be Madeline Brie.

---

Edit: Spelling.

Well personally I love the combo Madelyn Rose, but you don't like that spelling, but what about Madeline Rose? (just a suggestion, it's one of my personal faves)

---

Madeline Genevieve - It's nice, classy and sophisticated sounding
Madeline Josephine - I don't care for Josephine very much
Madeline Emilia - This sounds very pretty
Madeline Ava - This is nice
Madeline Brie - I like this too

---

I like my favorite would have to be Madeline Emilia, but the others (with the exception of josephine) I think are very nice too.

---

I like Madeline pronounced with the LINE, but Madeleine pronounced with the LYN is not bad. Personally, I'd use the Madelaine or Madeleine spelling if you wanted that pronounciation & you didn't like the Madelyn spelling.
