Madeleine -
alao is this how you would naturally spell it or would you use Madeline.
just curious if we’d be forever correcting pronunciation and spelling.

Maybe more like Mad-uh-lin actually

Madeleine is Mad-uh-len or Mad-uh-lyn

Madeline is Mad-uh-line

Based in the Midlands

I like both but prefer Madeline

Mad-eh-lin. I'm from Bristol.

If you want the Mad-eh-line pronunciation I'd spell it as Madeline.
