Emmeline/Emmaline?

I keep seeing this name, but I'm unsure of the pronunciation. I keep saying emma leen. Some say emma lynn or emma LINE. To me, the lynn and line pronunciations are not appealing... How do you say it?

I've heard both EM-uh-leen and EM-uh-line. 

In one of the Anne of Green Gables movies, there was a little girl named Emmeline Harris, and it was pronounced EM-uh-line.  That would probably be my first guess if I came across the name on a child, but I wouldn't have trouble adjusting to EM-uh-leen if that's what the parents said their daughter was called.
