What is the most common way to spell the above and is the pronounciation the same.

Thanks

Jocephine.

I'd pronounce
Madeline: as in straight LINE.
Madelyn: as in the name LYN.

My daughter is Madelin and whenever i try to buy novelty items in the shops they are always spelt Madeleine or madeliene cant remember where the i goes

I've only heard of one other 'Madelyn' it's not the common spelling at all. I chose it to avoid the pronouncing of 'ine' like 'whine' it is quite obvious when spelt how to pronounce (ie when she's in school) and the added of if she doesn't like her name she can always shorten it to Lyn.

Good Luck with an obviously GREAT name

I have a Madelyn as well

For me there is only one way --------Madeleine

I pronounce them that way too.

I prefer Madeline

I much prefer the spelling Madeline. I think it's too pretty a name to need creative spelling. :-)

We pronounce it MadelIN.

Wow! Old thread.

My sisters name is Madeline.
Yes. Extremly old thread

I like the spelling Madeleine and the pronounciation ‘mad-el-line.’ Madelyn IMO is pronounced ‘mad-el-lyn’

Same here

Yes, someone obviously searched for their child's name and resurrected a thread nearly seven years old!

Agree, & personally prefer Madelyn.
