[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Madeline/Madeleine/Madelyn ?
in reply to a message by Lily8
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.
