I have met a few young American Madelines and Madeleines and they were all pronounced Mad-uh-lynn. I'm wondering whether anyone uses the -line pronunciation. I think it was used in the movie that is based on the Madeline books but apart from that I have never heard it as -line. I've heard it a lot and always as -lynn. But I'm wondering if someone met a Madeline who uses the -line pronunciation. It comes from Magdalene which is closer to the -lynn pronunciation, I guess.
