Well, it's actually 'Madeleine,' with an 'e' before the 'i.' I prefer it to Madeline, myself, but I think that's just because of the book series my kindergarten teacher was obsessed with.

I wouldn't say 'actually' like Madeline is an error, it's just that Madeleine is French and Madeline is English. Of course you can use Madeleine in English too but Madeline isn't wrong.

It's just that 'Madeleine McCann' is always spelled with the 'e.' They are the same name, with different spellings, but the parents spelled it with the 'e.'

Ohhh sorry, I thought you were talking about the name in general and not the specific person. My bad
