[madasahattermummy]

madeline or madelyn to go with DD charlotte , lilian and sophia .
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Def Madeline oe Madeleine.

Madelyn looks illiterate made up.

Madelyn looks like you made a child called Lyn.

I would say Madeleine

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.

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!

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

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

Madeleine

Madeline/Madeleine. Madelyn looks chavvy and 'special'.

Madeleine.

Madeleine.
Say it anyway you like!
-line
-lin
-leen
-len

Madeleine pronounced Mad-uh-lin. Or if you're French pronounced Madlen

Madeline or Madeleine. As others have said, Madelyn looks wrong.

Madeleine

Madeleine

Madeline = Mad-eh-line

Madeleine = Mad-uh-lin

One is the little red haired french school girl, the other is my little sister

Madeleine

Madelyn looks made up, sorry.

please please please do not saddle your child with an odd spelling of a normal name - you have no ifea the trauma of having to correct evey teacher. Then as you get older when you apply for a bank account, a credit card, a job you still have to spell it.

To add insult to injury, your other children have normal spellings, at some stage someone will buy someyhing for your children with their names on, but unless they have something made then your youngest will get something else

can you tell I had a non standard spelling of my nane - until I changed it.

Madeline is a lovely name.

Definitely Madeline

Madeleine preferably or Madeline

OP, you don't think it's a bit similar to Lilian, do you?

I don't think its at all similar to Lillian Chippy, why do you?

I do, when both are used together in their full versions. Not a problem if shortened, as Maddy and Lily are obviously very different.
Just wondered if the OP had noticed or if it was just me

Madelyn sounds made up

Madeleine or madeline

Madelyn looks made up or like you didn't check the spelling

Not the one with the Y in, for the same reason as everyone else.
