I have only heard that pronunciation in continental Europe.

Actually, it'd depend on the name. In my accent...
Jacqueline would be "lyn"
Caroline, Rosaline, Madeline, Adaline would be "line".
Pauline, Marceline, Celine, Evangeline, Apolline, Angeline, Maybelline would be "leen".
I tend to default to "een" when I see *ine, though, and I've never met an Emmeline IRL. Don't know where you're from, but I assume that'd be common in the eastern US.
