How would you pronounce Madelen in comparison to Madeleine?


As some of you might have noticed, I'm Norwegian and Madelen is a Norwegian spelling of Madeleine. If I have a girl, that's what I want her middle name to be, and although I suppose middle names aren't that important, I'm planning on moving back to Australia and want all the names to be pronouncable in both languages. If I have to change it to Madeleine it doesn't really bother me that much, but thought I would check anyway.

Two names for baby girls yet to be born :)

Just wanted to share a couple of names related to me.

Baby Autumn will join her big sister Skylar Noel sometime this fall.

Skylar and Autumn will also be proud cousins to Eleanor Kennedy who will be born around the same time as Autumn.

My BF does not love Eleanor Kennedy, she thinks Eleanor is grumpy and old ladyish, and the name of a Beatles song and I don't think she was fond of the Kennedy mn either. As for me, I'm dazzled by it! I think it sounds fine and grand. :)


WDYT?

I hate boy names

[bratty-lil-fae.livejournal.com]

I love my son, I am excited to be 21 weeks pregnant with another little boy. I HATE naming boys. Girl names are easy, if we had a girl she would have been Amelia Grace, but we cannot find boy names that we love to save our lives.

It took us forever to name our now 2 year old son, Nicholas Cael, who day to day goes by his middle name of Cael (pronounced Kale, like the vegetable). And it is now taking us forever to agree on a name for the boy on the way.

We both kind of like Isaac or Jacob, he prefers Isaac, I prefer Jacob (mainly because I associate Isaac with the devil child from when I taught preschool Sunday school, and that child was evil and mean and horrible and he was only 3), but we cannot find a middle name that we love the way we loved the name Cael. We vaguely can agree on Isaac Dai (websites vary on pronunciation of Day or Die, we prefer Day for pronunciation), but again, neither of us are in love with the name.

Unfortunately it's not even a matter of agreeing on names, I can't even find a name that I love myself to convince my husband of, it's like I see all boys names and go "meh".

and for the fun of it and something happy in this post
