    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!

    Emma lean for me! (I think it's absolutely gorgeous!)
    I have Imogen and I always get asked how to pronounce it...
    I have Finnian and I get the same... I think lots of people have trouble with pronounciations but once it's a childs name you run with it...

    Emma-lean was what I originally thought when I read your thread title but after reading others replies I can see it as Emma-Line

    I'd say 'leen' but that's because that's how someone I knew pronounced their name.

    i'd say Emme ... leen but then that's probaby cause my DD's name ends in ' ine ' and we pronounce it ' een '

    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!
