How do you pronounce this name & where are you from?

[Violetandpurple]

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.

Madalaine. Bit of a mongrel and no accent

Madda line as in clothes line

Mad-a-lin. I'm from Glasgow.

Why is everyone emphasising the MAD of Madeleine?

I'd say Mad eh LAINE with the emphasis on the LAINE.

Spelled like that I'd say Mad-eh-leyn. But I'd say if you're planning to use it then you and your DD will need to develop a thick skin about the mad-eh-leyn vs mad-eh-lin distinction otherwise it will drive you mad(dy).

That's the French pronounciation. More common to stress the first syllable in English.

Madder-lane, from East of England.

i would pronounce Madeleine and Madeline differently. Spelt Madeleine I would pronounce it Mad-eh-line

Spelt Madeline I would pronounce it Mad-uh-lin

Madder-lane

Really? madder Lane?

Maddelin...I'm from Dublin

Ma-duh-line, London. I'm dutch though & that's how we pronounce it in the Netherlands

Madeleine is french and pronounced - lin. Madeline is American and sometimes pronounced line. However the ‘normal’ name is lin so whichever way you spell it lost will say this

MAD-uh-lenn
London

And sorry, yes it’s lane not lin

madeleine - how it’s spelt

Mad eh lin

London

A friend just had a Madeline and I just read it as made-line

wtf have you never heard the name before?! @MassiveSalad22

MAD-eh-lin (first syllable is the stressed one)

Edinburgh

I really really wanted to call my youngest daughter Madeleine (mad-er-lin) 25 years ago, but my husband wasn't keen, so we compromised, which means neither of us are particularly keen on her name. We always call her by her family nickname.

My DD is Madeleine and everyone pronounces it mad-uh-lin, although I prefer mad-uh-len but have given up on that as no one else says it the way I do. Everyone spells it Madeline which I didn't realise would be an issue as Madeleine is the more common spelling in the UK.

Mah de linn

North East but I don't have much of an accent

I'm an Irish Madeline and I pronounce my name Mad-uh-leen. It's French and they pronounce line as leen. However, the lyne pronunciation has recently become more popular here I've noticed.

Madeleine is pronounced differently in French as pp have said, so if you want the lyne pronunciation I wouldn't choose that spelling.
But people will invariably mix up the various spellings and pronunciations anyway...

I'm in Ireland and the only one I know pronounces it Madda-leen.

Mad el lean

I prefer Madeline (rhymes with vine at the end rather than lean).

‘In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines
Lived twelve little girls in two straight lines
In two straight lines they broke their bread
And brushed their teeth and went to bed.
They left the house at half past nine
In two straight lines in rain or shine.
The smallest one was Madeline’.

Mad a lin. it's my mothers name (that spelling). She's was from Ireland I'm from London.

Mad-e-laine

From Wirral, live in France
