Help[Opinions] Madelaine
How would you pronounce Madelaine? Would you pronounce it the same way as Madeleine or would you say something like Mad-uh-Lane? Just wondering because I've never seen this spelling before.

I'd say it like mad-eh-lane, so a bit different from Madeleine (which I say mad-eh-line, not mad-eh-lin)

It's my aunt's name, with this exact spelling. We live in Sweden, and pronounce it just like Madeleine.

I'd say mad-uh-lane. It's not the same as Madeleine, which I pronounce Mad-uh-lin.

If I saw that, I would assume that the parents wanted a Mad-eh-lane pronunciation.

I would have pronounced it that same and assumed it was just an odd choice of spelling.

Based on this spelling, I'd pronounce it as if Elaine were mad.

I've seen it in old birth records - it's just a variant spelling of Madeleine and is pronounced the same way in French, mad len.
