[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Magdalene?
in reply to a message by number1212
I love Magdalene. I would consider using it.
I say it the same as Magdalen. I go to a church named for Mary Magdalene and that's the pronunciation the parish uses. If I want mag-da-leh-na I use Magdalena.
I prefer it with the -ne ending over Magdalen for purely aesthetic reason.
My aforementioned church definitely gives it a pretty religious vibe for me. Very Catholic imo. That said, a lot if people have ascribed roles to Mary Magdalene that make her an almost controversial figure and some of that can make it seem more opposed to the establishment somehow?
