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

Are you considering this as a baby name??

SOPHIEMC16 · 18/07/2019 18:13

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

Madeleine is the proper way if you want ‘lin’

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

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

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

Madeleine ❤️

Madeleine. Madeline has a different pronunciation.

Expressedways · 18/07/2019 19:09

Madeleine for the Lin pronunciation.

Tonks101 · 18/07/2019 19:14

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

Spam88 · 18/07/2019 19:24

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

fedup21 · 18/07/2019 19:25

Why do you ask it like that, @mindproject?

TheRLodger · 18/07/2019 19:33

Madeleine - it’s a lovely name

GaraMedouar · 18/07/2019 19:36

Madeleine - My 22 year old's name. Smile

SOPHIEMC16 · 18/07/2019 19:56

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

Definitely ei.

Astronica · 19/07/2019 03:26

Madeleine. Madeline gives you a different pronunciation.

CakeRattleandRoll · 19/07/2019 06:41

Madeleine. Beautiful name.

JJSMC · 19/07/2019 20:22

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

She'll be Madeleine SmileSmileSmile
