What would be the correct spelling of the name pronounced "Mad-uh-line"?

I would think it'd be either Madeleine or Madeline, but so many people seem to be pronouncing them "Mad-uh-lyn".





The reason I'm asking is because I may want to put this on my list as a middle name, but I'm unsure how to spell it.

What would be the correct spelling of the name pronounced "Mad-uh-line"?
Madeleine (I prefer this) is French. It's pronounced in several ways:

Madeline is English. It too is pronounced in several ways:

I would spell it the way you prefer. Madelyn is obviously pronounced (Mad-uh-lyn). Madeleine/Madeline is NOT pronounced (Mad-uh-lyn). If it were, it would be spelled like Madelyn/Madalyn.





It's all about preference. But if she grows and tells people her middle name, and they pronounce it wrong, she'll just tell them "No, it's MAD-uh-LINE."
Reply:I prefer the Madeline spelling, I would pronounce it the way that you are wanting it to be pronounced, and it is simpler that way. I think that it is cute, but it is not my favorite name. What name are you thinking of pairing it with?
Reply:Madeleine is mad-uh-line


Madeline is mad-uh-lyn, but could also be pronounced mad-uh-line





Go with Madeleine, as it's less confusing
Reply:Both are supposed to be pronounced Mad-uh-line. Mad-uh-lyn is spelled Madelyn. I like the spelling Madeleine and the pronunciation, but not Madelyn.
Reply:It depends on the region, all pronunciation does.





Spelling goes like this:





Madelyn: Mad-uh-linn


Madeleine: Mad-uh-len (Close to Madeleine but not exactly the same)


Madeline: Mad-uh-line
