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.

I'm Australian and have heard it ending in -lynn, -line, -lane

I think using the Madelen spelling would be the best way of having it pronounced correctly here : )
