Re: WDYT of Madelyn?
in reply to a message by Sadie
I think Madelyn has a phonetic spelling, I don't mind it. Some people obviously think that Madeline rhymes with Caroline.
Madelyn Rose is very pretty, but I would choose Madelyn Louise or what about Madelyn Elise?). Since both Madelyn/Madeline and Rose are so common. With a popular fn, I prefer a less popular mn.
I would spell the name Madeleine, but then we pronounce it the French way in Sweden, not as Madelyn.
