HelpRe: Pronunciation of -line names :)
in reply to a message by Lily
Caroline--I pronounce it with an INE ending. Otherwise, it's Carolyn, not Caroline. I can't see any other pronunciation for it.
Rosaline--Also with an INE ending, which I prefer to any other. Otherwise, it's Rosalynn as in Rosalynn Carter. Nothing against her, but I prefer Rosaline to Rosalynn.
Emmeline--Pronounce it with an INE ending and would prefer that to any other.
Madeline--Pronounce it with an INN ending. I can see an INE ending for it, and that's actually prettier, but it doesn't come naturally to me.
Adeline---Pronounce it with an INE ending. I don't like the name at all, so have no preference.
Madeleine--Same as Madeline.
