Which spelling is right, or are they both right?

Is Madeleine pronounced Mad-e-line and Madeline pronounced Mad-lynn?

I wouldn't pronounce either as Mad-lynn - I thought it was Mad-e-line for both?

I prefer the spelling Madeline - I get confused with actually how to spell it the other way.

I do, however, really dislike Maddie, which is what Madelines all seem to get called eventually.

Madeleine.

Madeleine looks 'right' to me. I'd pronounce it the way they do on Bagpuss (when they mention 'Madeleine the rag doll').
