User Comments about the name Madeleine
Comment left Oct 27, 2008: "So my name is Madelaine. But I like Maddy. And yes, I spell it MadelAINE.. yeah." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 20, 2008: "My name is Madeleine. I live in Canada and pronounce it "mada-lin" or sometimes the French way, "mad-lene". I love my name and it doesn't bother me when people spell it incorrectly or mispronounce it.
I find it is a problem when writing standardized tests. There are never 9 spaces. But other than that, I wouldn't change my name for anything.
On a side note, it does annoy me when people name their babies Madeleine but spell it phonetically. To me that's not really naming your baby Madeleine." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left May 08, 2008: "i love the name madeleine, but i would pronounce it mad-a-lin. i don't like it when its pronounced mad-a-lane..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 04, 2008: "My name is Madeleine, I'm from the UK btw peeps! I like it but all my teachers at scool call me Mad-a-lin or Mad-a-line. Loads of people always ask me which one of the above I am and I say Mad-e-lane and they go 'ohh'. I shorten my name to Maddie though, I had a new maths teacher this year and I told her to call me Maddie. She assumed I was a Madison and I told her not to call me that at Parents Evening or my mum would probably slap her. I love being called Madeleine, I'm unique as in my school (2000 pupils) I am the only Madelenine (or Maddie for that matter). My friends are all called 'Lucy' or 'Emily' or 'Hannah' so I'm glad I'm different!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 02, 2008: "My name is Madeleine. I like it but it really annoys me when people say it wrong! Everyone thinks it's Mad-a-linn, but it's Mad-a-lane. I sometimes just tell people to call me Maddi to avoid confusion, but I don't really like it. But its a good name when people get it right!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 21, 2008: "I had a daughter on 06/07 and named her Madaleine because I love the it. It means "one who is elevated, high tower" meaning someone who is strong. I beleive that one should always look at meanings of their names because I really helps the self-esteem. The reason for choosing this name is because as my daughter grows I want her to look at the meaning and not get frustrated with people not pronouncing or spelling it correctly. I want for her to see that she is a strong person and build a strong personality in her." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Mar 12, 2008: "the only thing is that people misspell it, or pronounce it like the books. that's not how it's pronounced when it's spelled with 2 e's! it's mad-a-len. but since i'm only sixteen, i go by maddy. not that many people have it, so it's nice to be original!"

Comment left Feb 04, 2008: "My name is Madeleine And I am not sure I like my name. Sometimes I think it is awesome, but mostly it makes people laugh when I tell them that a Madeleine is a French cookie. That makes me really mad. I HATE HATE HATE it when people call me maddy. It makes me feel like a dumb blond (the kind in jokes, not real people)." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 17, 2008: "Great name, would love to use it someday if I'm lucky enough to have a girl. I also like Madelynn or Madelyne which sound almost exactly the same as this but are probably a little easier for most people to spell." (Report as inappropriate)
