[Opinions] Really?

I can see emphasizing the second syllable of Madeleine if you're going for mad-LEN rather than MAD-ə-lien or MAD-ə-lin, but I've never heard of Rosalind or Rosaline said with the emphasis on any syllable but the first.
To keep it all Shakespearean, I believe they have the same rhythm as JES-i-ka or ROH-mee-oh, not mi-RAN-da or ma-REE-na.

Madeleine with the middle symbol emphasized would rhyme with Magellan. Sort of cool, actually!
