HelpRe: Madeleine and Madeline
in reply to a message by Perrine
For MAD-eh-linn I prefer Madeline (although I pronounce it MAD-eh-line). For Madeleine, I use the Swedish pronunciation.
Hmm, not really. I don't get different images. However I think Madeleine is a little dated, yet Madeline is steady, being ranked #97.
The nickname Maddie puts me off - it's too simple and destroys the glamour of both names.
Lena is a much better nickname.
BTW, am I the only one who, besides these two names, also likes Magdalena and Madelyn? :P
