Jacques Brel, a famous Belgian singer, had a song called "Madeleine". Whilst I know there will be regional differences in pronunciation, he certainly pronounces it nothing like mudd-LEN.

As I said, it could just be a difference in dialect, of course.

•Thanks! Now I'm thinking it can be pronounced any way I want? But I'm not sure what's correct. nt · ConsideringEmmaline · 3/10/2009, 12:46 PM

•Well, but as it isn't pronounced "MAD-uh-len" in French anyway, you can as well... (m) · LoQuiero · 3/10/2009, 5:13 AM
