What do you think of the nickname Leni for Madeleine? I really like Leni (prn like Laney), but I can't think of a full name I like as much and I don't think it stands alone well. Not a huge fan of Helena or Elena...anything else?

Or maybe just Lane? What do you think of Lane for a girl? I like it, but it might be too Gilmore Girls-y...only because Gilmore Girls is my favorite show, though so people would know exactly where I heard the name.

I nannied for a woman who was friends with a Madelane (I don't know if this is how she spelled it, but that's how it was pronounced). I can see Lane as a nn for this, but not so much from Madeleine.

Madeleine is pronounced exactly as you've spelt the friend's name.

Yep, the french spelling is prounced this way (we don't pronounce my daughter's name that way, but in France I know they would).
