Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Madeline/Madeleine/Madelyn ?
in reply to a message by aquamarina
yeah I think we pronounce Madeleine the same :P i just have problems with writing down and explaining the pronunciation :P But I say the Mad in Madeleine with an ahhhh sound not and ehhh sound so hard to explain...not like the English word "mad" rather like the English word "mud" if that makes sense :P

I see... I think part of the problem is that you and I probably say "mad" and "mud" differently. I'm English, and the word "mad" for me is exactly the same sound in the French Madeleine. There's no 'ehhh' sound about it. But I've heard before from Americans that their short 'a' sound isn't the same as the French 'a' sound. Where are you from? :)

Oh I didn't know you were from England but now it makes sense. Yes I think we pronounce it exactly the same then :) I was born in Germany but I lived in Australia for a long time. I have an American accent, though haha I don't know why.
