I know two babies named Madeline, pronounced Mad/eh/lynn
I still think Madeline is better as Mad/eh/line
DS dx with celiac disease 5/28/10

Both give the pronunciation you want. I don't like changing up the spelling.
I think that the Madelyn spelling is the Americanized spelling of the French name Madeleine. Both are pronounced MAD - uh- LIN
I believe Madeline is pronounced MAD- uh- LINE (like the children's book)

This, I much prefer Madelyn.

That's interesting, I always pronounced Madeleine Mad/eh/Len or Layne but not Lynn - but I'm not French so I'm not familiar with French vowel sounds.
