Both pronounced 'lin' at the end. Which spelling do you prefer?
Thanks

Thanks for your replies everyone. I agree that Madeline should be pronounced differently.

She'll be Madeleine SmileSmileSmile

Madeleine. Beautiful name.

Madeleine. Madeline gives you a different pronunciation.

Looks like Madeleine then! That's the way I would spell it.

@fedup21 I hadn't read their comment negatively until you commented. The ?? does look negative. I think it's a beautiful name and I really like nn Maddie Smile

Madeleine - it’s a lovely name

fedup21 · 18/07/2019 19:25

Why do you ask it like that, @mindproject?

Spam88 · 18/07/2019 19:24

I'd use the 'ei' for the pronunciation you want.

Tonks101 · 18/07/2019 19:14

I'm going to go against the grain and say I like Madeline 😊

Expressedways · 18/07/2019 19:09

Madeleine for the Lin pronunciation.

daisypond · 18/07/2019 19:07

I like Madeleine, Maddy for short. It's cute.

Goodnightjude1 · 18/07/2019 18:26

I like Madeleine. We have a Maddilyn so I like that too 🙂

Bobbindobbin · 18/07/2019 18:23

Are you considering this as a baby name?

It’s a lovely name, yes it’s linked to one child but does that mean people shouldn’t use it?

fieldsofclover · 18/07/2019 18:17

Madeleine is the proper way if you want ‘lin’

@mindproject yes I think we're decided on it. But we don't agree on the spelling!
