Help[Opinions] Aren't you a bit ethnocentric now?
in reply to a message by Julia
The French Caroline is pronounced as Carolyn (and so we do in Sweden too). And Madeleine is a French name, so it is more logical to say Madeline as Madelyn. I would also pronounce Adeline (another French name) as Adelyn.
Also, the English pronounciation is not logical and consistent. You may not have discovered this, but we who don't have English as first language know :)
