thanks - is madelyn not a traditional spelling? i always thought they were two different names with different pronunciations...?
I always thought of Madelyn as a "modernized" variation of Madeline, mostly because I see a lot of names where mom & dad just subbed a "y" for the "i" (Eryca, Kym, Eryn, Jaydyn, etc.). If I saw Madeline/Madelyn on my classroom roster, I would pronounce them the same (mad-uh-LIN). But that's just me.
What pronunciations did you have in mind?

interesting! i totally thought they were two valid different names... along with madeleine actually... with pronunciations like:
madeline - mad-uh-LINE
madelyn - mad-uh-LYN
madeleine (french) - mad-eh-LEHN
This is how I say all three also. I would go with Madeline because everyone and their cousin is named Madelyn it seems.
This.
This.
But I don't like the 'y' substitution trend in girl's names AT ALL anyway...
This, except in English I'd pronounce the last two the same, MAD-uh-lyn.
Madeline, however, should definitely be pronounced Mad-uh-LINE. If you don't believe me pick up a Madeline book and look at the rhymes.
