[Opinions] Re: A question for everyone and my reply
To me, it has to do with spelling. Madeleine is mad-uh-lehn, Madeline is mad-uh-line, and Madelin is Mad-uh-Lynn."Okay, what are your ideas? Taylor? Uh-huh. Fletcher? Cooper? Tanner? Where are you getting these? The Big Book Of Medieval Professions?"

but why is Emmeline both -line and -leen? I think Evangline is always -een? Just wondering, thanks for your reply!

I wouldn't say Evangeline is always ending in "-een." The only Evangeline I've ever met (who generally went by Eve) actually pronounced her name ee-VAN-juh-lien!

Naw. I never hear Emmeline as -leen, just -line. Also, I have heard Evangeline pronounced both ways. Its probably because there is only one spelling.

Yeah, Evangeline is -leen. One of my faves!
