Agree that for English speakers Madelyn is the easiest/clearest spelling.

I've heard Madeline as Mad-eh-lyne.

Madeline = Madd-eh-line (as in the children's film's pronunciation)

Madeleine = Madd-eh-lane

^^Or either being pron. "Madd-eh-Leen"

Madelyn = Madd-eh-lyn

:) Lovely names though!

To me:

Madeline = Madd-eh-leen
Madeleine = Madd-eh-layne
Madelyn = Madd-eh-lyn

Amongst English speakers (i.e. not French) Madelyn will be the easiest to pronounce with not mis-pronunciations.

I would say Madeleine

Madelyn looks like you made a child called Lyn.
