Madeline and Madelyn
I think they are pronounced the same "MA-de-lin". I know I pronounce them the same. I see Madelyn as an Americanized form of Madeline/, which is an English form of Madeleine.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

Practically all people I know pronounce it Mah-duh-line (I live in England)
I thought the mah-duh-lin pronouciation was a USA thing but maybe I'm wrong .. I just don't see how line can be pronounced lin? :)
