[Opinions] Re: Madeleine
in reply to a message by humblebee
I'd want to pronounce it Mad-de la in. Lain would be one syllable, but with a slight pause as with my daughter Violet's name. It's two syllables but has a slight pause in the middle Vi-e-let.
Anyone who reads my name pronounces it wrong, but that's the only time. So I think the issue would solely lie there. Reading and writing it.

Maybe you'd like Madelaine, the spelling David Duchovny and Tea Leoni used for their daughter. It would highlight the non-standard -lain ending, at least, and reduce confusion.
