Has anyone heard the name Madelies before? What do you think of it?

I've heard it before, but I can;t recall exactly when. It was definitely in teh netherlands. I don;t think thsi is useabel in an english speaking country (made-lies has some pretty negative connotations).
I have, and I'm pretty sure it's Dutch. It sounds nice, but to my Anglophone eyes it looks like "made lies."
I have seen it. It's Dutch and I think it's pronounced mad-eh-LEES or MAD-eh-lees. It's cute. But I don't think it would work in an English-speaking country. It looks to much like "mad lies".
I've seen Madelief before but not Madelies. I really like it if pronounced mad-elise. It has the "mad-" prefix that I think sounds delicate and pretty and the "-lies" ends it on a soft note.
