Pronunciation of Madeline, Madeleine, Madelyn?

Do you think that all of these variations can be pronounced Mad-a-lynn or are they prounounced differently? I know that Madeline can be pronounced Mad-a-line, but I'm not sure if that is the only correct pronunciaton. Thanks for your help.

    I think Madeline and Madeleine are said mad-uh-LINE, and Madeline and Madelyn are said mad-uh-LYN. The Madeline spelling can be said both ways, just like Caroline can be said care-oh-LINE or care-oh-LYN, but Carolyn is just care-oh-LYN, if that makes sense. And for the record? I really love the Madeleine spelling and pronounciation the best. Madelyn looks kind of silly and modern to me. I don't mind, but don't love, the Madeline spelling.

    Its your baby name her what you want and call her what you want. That's just what I would guess if I was like a Teacher or something calling out her name. Good luck!!
