[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce...
in reply to a message by DMS
I know a Madeline who pronounces it mad-uh-lynn (and, incidentally, doesn't seem to go by anything but her full name), but it makes the most sense to me as mad-uh-line, and that's how I'd automatically assume it was pronounced. Madeleine I would pronounce mad-uh-len or even mad-uh-lane, though I'm not sure if the latter is acceptable. Because Madeline can be -line or -lyn, and there's also Madelyn and all the others, but where else can you get -len?
