I'm Belgian (French speaking) married to an American so we do have pronouciation problems. To me
Madeleine,
Madeline and
Madelyn are three different names (pronounciation side). In French we pronounce
Madeline and
Madelyn the same (Mad-e-LEEN). But in the U.S.,I think this is like
Caroline which is pronounced Car-o-line and
Carolyn, Car-o-lyn. At least when I showed it to dh he pronounced
Madeline as you do.
