    I'd pronounce it like lean.

    If you want a line sort of sound the Madeleine is pronounced with the line sort of sound so maybe use Emmeleine. Though now I've typed it up it just doesn't look right.

    Madeleine I pronounce Maddelyn so I guess Im wrong on all levels.

    Id initially think 'line' for Emmeline

    I would think line as well - but agree with everyone both pronunciations are really lovely!

    i would read it emma-leen, but when you told me it was Emma-line i'd say "oh, how lovely" And then pronounce it like that!

    I would pronounce it "line" but I know someone of that name that pronounces it that way. A beautiful name that was on our short list. Ended up going with Emilia though, and I am sure that she will be spelling her name her whole life as everyone thinks it is Amelia.
    I am sure that I watched a movie with a girl called emmaline pronounced "line" in it recemtly, but i can't think which movie it was!
