Madeline and Madelyn
I think they are pronounced the same "MA-de-lin". I know I pronounce them the same. I see Madelyn as an Americanized form of Madeline/, which is an English form of Madeleine.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

I thought the mah-duh-lin pronouciation was a USA thing but maybe I'm wrong .. I just don't see how line can be pronounced lin? :)
