Help[Opinions] Re: Adeline
in reply to a message by Shiply
I know three Madelines, none of them are called Maddie. They all pronounce it MAD-eh-linn, though.

No, AD-eh-leen. Not so fond of AD-eh-line which is probably why I'll only use it as a middle name.
Madelyn wasn't even used as a name before Madeline became common, as far as I know. It is simply a spelling variant of Madeline which is why I think most people pronounce Madeline MAD-eh-linn. I've never heard MAD-eh-line in real life and I've met many. There's also an actress named this who pronounces it MAD-eh-linn. She was born in the mid 80s.
Haha I would never use Madeline or Adeline as first names even though I love them. No Emmeline either. Just too many pronunciation troubles. I heard even Caroline is commonly pronounced LINN in some places. I only heard Caroline and Emmeline as LINE and Madeline as LINN :P
