How would you pronounce this name?

Madeline (Mad-e-LYN or Mad-e-LINE)?

Just want to make sure I'm not dooming my child to a lifetime of having to correct people.

I always think of the children's book, Madeline, it doesn't rhyme if pronounced -LYN. "They left the house at half past nine/in two straight lines/in rain or shine/the smallest one was Madeline".

Line!! I hate when people say it -lyn.

-line. And I don't find -lyn to be an attractive pronunciation at all. But if that's your goal, still prefer it spelled Madeline to Madelyn, which is ugly and trendy.

Both... $:\$ I never know how it's supposed to be pronounced. According to BTN, it's not even supposed to be pronounced "Line." It's "lin" or "lien".

Madelyn (trendy & incorrect spelling) = lyn

Madeline = line (like Caroline)

Madeleine = leen or lin (French? and my fav spelling)

Lyn

Line! Proper way to spell it and it sounds softer than lyn

Thank you for the feedback.

Lyn. I've known two people named Madeline (spelled this way) and they've both pronounced it "lyn". FWIW I've know the spelling "Caroline" to be pronounced both ways as well.
