I think
Madelyn has a phonetic spelling, I don't mind it. Some people obviously think that
Madeline rhymes with
Caroline.
Madelyn Rose is very pretty, but I would choose
Madelyn Louise or what about
Madelyn Elise?). Since both Madelyn/Madeline and
Rose are so common. With a popular fn, I prefer a less popular mn.
I would spell the name
Madeleine, but then we pronounce it the French way in Sweden, not as
Madelyn.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (
Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
