It reminds me of the word maudlin, meaning self-pityingly or tearfully sentimental.

Maudlin was also derived from the medieval English pronunciation of Magdalene, and thus was a derisive way to refer to "the penitent Magdalene" or someone apparently trying to martyr themselves in such a way.
Madeline is derived from Magdalene. So... this looks like someone attempted to combine the two Magdalene legacies.

Agree! Not a good choice at all.

I guess it's okay. It's mixture of Maude and Madeline.

I don't think I'd ever use it, but I'd like to meet someone with this name!
