Baby name spelling ? Opinions please

My husband and I have agreed on a girl's name but we're not quite in agreement on the spelling. What are your thoughts?

Madeline vs Madelyn?

Either way, it would be pronounced Ma-de-lynn.

(for some context, her middle name will be Emma) 

Re: Baby name spelling ? Opinions please

  • I pronounce Madeline - Mad-elle-line

    And Madelyn - Mad-elle-lynn

    If that helps

  • Thanks Ladies! I guess Madelyn makes the most sense.

     

  • Personally I prefer Madeline, it just looks more traditional to me and was on our short list because it was my great grandmother's name. However, I am a stickler for avoiding mispronunciations so I would go with Madelyn if that matters to you.

  • DD is Madeleine (pronounced -Lynn) and we've had no issues with the pronunciation.

  • I think Madelyn is the way to go to avoid mispronounciations.  My DD#2 is Madeleine and that throws people for a loop, is it -lynn vs. -line, but we still like the spelling and wouldn't change it even with the occasional mispronounciation.  <
