I'd pronounce
Madeleine as MAD-ə-lien. If you click on it, you'll see that on this site that's listed as a correct pronunciation. It doesn't much matter anyway since it's a middle name. You won't often have to correct peoples' pronunciation of it. Although I do think that in the combo
Chloe Madeleine Christine, MAD-ə-lin rolls off the tongue easier.
