myhandsrfull Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 This is our daughters name- we pronounce it Mag-duh-lin. The story of Mary Magdalene was inspiring to us, her love and strength are characteristics we'd love to see in our daughter. Carey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 It's on our list of girl names (if the baby is a girl), but we only like it if it's pronounced Mag-duh-lin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritaserum Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Mag-duh-lin That's how I say it and how I hear other people say it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renmew Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I would pronounce it mag duh lin. I was worried about the same thing happening with my daughter, so I spelled her name Madelynn to help out with the short i ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 You don't say the "g." Maude-lin (short i) Maude-lin for the Oxford and Cambridge colleges, Mag-duh-lin for the biblical character. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks :D I'm off to tell DH! I think this will be THE name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Magdalene? Mag-duh-lin or Mag-duh-leen or ???? Mag-duh-leen ETA: this site gives the pronunciations. The college name is pronounced one way, the person's name is the other (Mag-duh-lin). Put your cursor over the word to hear it.
