The ending line, phonetically, cannot and should not be said as lynn. It doesn't work. You don't say Caroline as Carolyn, or Emmeline as Emmalyn, or Adeline as Adalyn. In fact, this is one of my pet peeves. Line does not equal Lynn. I suppose I am slightly biased, though, because the Madelyn spelling drives me completely crazy.
