Help[Opinions] Re: Emmeline/Emmaline pronunciation
in reply to a message by Aileen
Emmaline/Emmeline - both pronounced Emma-line (rhymes with 'shine')
I can also unerstand people who want to pronounce it Emma-leen, but I think that is a secondary pronounciation. I think the -line is usually default in most people's vocabulary in the U.S.
Madeline - ending sounds like "line" as well, NOT lyn.
Madelyn - ending is "lyn"
Madeleine - ending is "len" ... BUT it is acceptable to use the "line" or "lyn" endings for this as well IMO. It's the most versatile.
I love Emmeline and Madeline. I don't think I have met a "-line" name that I DIDN'T like. It's one of my favorite endings :)
