Which pronunciation/spelling do you like better?
My husband decided that he really likes Madeline so that is most likely going to be our little girl's name. My question is, I was going to pronounce it Mad-e-line (like Caroline) but a lot of people seem to think it's pronounced like Madelyn even with the Madeline spelling. Do you prefer,
Madeline (pron. Mad-e-line)
Madeline (pron. Mad-e-lyn)
Madeleine (the French spelling, pron. more like Mad-e-lehn)Thanks a lot! Also, do you think it matters if our first daughter's middle name is Caroline (and we use Madeline, rhyming with Caroline?) Or does that not matter since it's just her middle name?
