Help[Opinions] Re: Madeline
in reply to a message by Lily
I really like it.
However, to me, the pronunciation for that spelling is MAD-el-ein. My friends name is Madelyn (MAD-el-inn) and it was purposefully spelled like that so it would be pronounced MAD-el-inn. I also am friends with a Madeline who pronunces it MAD-el-ein. To me, having the "e" at the end of Madeline makes me think the preceeding "i" is long, and thus MAD-el-ein.
This aside, I do like the name very much, but I agree on its popularity so it would be a great middle name. Nothing comes to mind regarding first name options right now, though. :)
