[name]How[/name] do you pronounce the name [name]Madeline[/name]?
In that spelling, Mad-eh-line, like a line that you draw with a ruler.
[name]Madelyn[/name] is Mad-eh-lynn and [name]Madeleine[/name] is Mad-eh-layne, like how some roads are called Country [name]Lane[/name] or whatever.
[name]Madeline[/name] - line
[name]Madeleine[/name] - layne
[name]Madelyn[/name] - lyn
[name]Madeline[/name] and [name]Madeleine[/name] are said the same way to me. (ending in line)
[name]Madelyn[/name] on the other hand, is mad-eh-lin. (like the first syllable of [name]Linda[/name])
[name]Madeline[/name] is Mad-uh-[name]LINE[/name] to me, just like the way it’s spelled.
Mad-uh-line, like the little girl that lived in [name]Paris[/name] “and the youngest one was [name]Madeline[/name]”
Madeline- is said with either the -line (or -leen ending). It is the English variant of the Hebrew name [name]Magdalene[/name].
Madeleine - is the -len/-lyn ending that has a million alternate spellings, some of which might be more popular than the original French spelling. It is the French variant of the Hebrew name [name]Magdalene[/name].
[name]Hope[/name] this helps!
I always ask the [name]Madeline[/name] I’m talking to how she wants it pronunced, I’ve met people with all different spellings who still pronounce it with the ending sound “lynn.” I don’t know if that is a US thing? I do know one girl that is actually [name]Madeline[/name] with a “line” sounding ending and quite like it!
Mad-uh-line, like the little girl who lives in the house covered in vines. BUT all of the girls I’ve met that use this spelling pronounce it 'Mad-uh-lin," even though I would definitely only spell that way as [name]Madelyn[/name] or [name]Madeleine[/name].
Mad-uh-line is the only way I’d pronounce this spelling, pronounced just like it’s spelled. [name]Madelyn[/name] is mad-uh-lynn and [name]Madeleine[/name] I never know how it’s supposed to be said as the spelling is weird to me (I’m American, if it matters) but I say it mad-uh-line.
I prefer the “line” pronunciation, but have only ever met Madelines who pronounce it Mad-uh-lynn.
[name]Madeline[/name]- Mad-uh-line, as in the cartoon
[name]Madeleine[/name]- Mad-uh-lyn, one of my good friend spells her name this way and that’s how she pronounces it
[name]Madelyn[/name]- Mad-uh-lyn
MAD-uh-line
For me:
[name]Madeline[/name]: Mad-eh-LIE-n
[name]Madeleine[/name]: properly in French, it’s Mad-eh-len, but usually it’s said very quickly, so it almost sounds like Mad-len. I love it.
[name]Madelaine[/name]: mad-eh-lane.
[name]Madelyn[/name]/[name]Madalyn[/name]/[name]Madilyn[/name]: mad-ah-lin/mad-ih-lin.
[name]Madeleine[/name] is my favorite, but I like [name]Madelaine[/name], too. I actually don’t mind [name]Madeline[/name] with the long “line” ending, but I won’t go near it with a 39 1/2 foot pole since everyone seems to think “line” can sound like “lynn” (which absolutely blows my mind).
Mad-uh-line. [name]Just[/name] like it’s spelled.
My sister could have been [name]Madeline[/name] pronounced Madelen.
They can all be pronounced Mad-uh-lyn, Mad-uh-line, Mad-uh-len or Mad-uh-leen
[name]Madeleine[/name] could be [name]Madelaine[/name]
Originally, I would pronounce [name]Madeline[/name] as Mad-uh-[name]LINE[/name] or Mad-uh-LEEN, depending on where I was. However, I’ve met so many [name]Madeline[/name]'s who pronounce it Mad-uh-lyn, I usually go with that.
I pronounce [name]Madeleine[/name] Mad-uh-[name]LEN[/name] or mad-uh-lin if lazy. I don’t know why, but it really bugs me when [name]Madeleine[/name] is pronounced Mad-uh-[name]LINE[/name]. It’s just so counter-intuitive to me.
