Re: Madeleine
in reply to a message by Perrine
Madeline = line & Madeleine = len. Doesn't seem dated, Madelyn maybe. I prefer Madeleine over Madeline but like both. I'd only use (Madeleine) as a middle because I can't stand Maddie. Sure you can ask people to call her something else (I think Della is beautiful) but she could always want to be called Maddie when she gets older.
