HelpRe: Adeline vs Madeline
in reply to a message by Sun
Madeline, I guess, though they're both blah.
The trouble with Adeline is, it's not clear how it's supposed to be pronounced. Seems that today the trendy pronunciation is Add-a-lyn, and all these variations like Adelynand Adalynn make it even more uncertain.
I've always pronounced it Add-a-line, a pronunciation that sounds unattractive to me.
