HelpRe: Madeleine
in reply to a message by Renee213
I thought the -lyn and -line pronunciations were valid? My first instinct would be to say MAD-e-line but I wouldn't be surprised to be corrected. And this is coming from someone who only knows one Madeleine, and she's French so we do pronounce it mad-LEN.

Mad-de-len or Mad-de-lain. I like the second way. I'm wouldn't want the french pronunciation.

Unless I made a conscious effort, Mad-de-len and Mad-de-lin come out the same when I same them. I have to catch myself and say it slowly to get a clear -len or -lain sound at the end.
