My name is Magdalene, I hate the nick names people try to give me just because they can't pronounce it. Such as Maggie, Mag, Mags, Maddy etc.. I think my name is beautiful and should be used rather than the silly nick names. Pronounced Mag-da-lene the e on the end is silent so it's pronounced as though it is spelt Mag-da-len not Mag-da-lean. Hope this makes sense :)
