Congrats!! We are excited to meet Madeleine and are happy to hear that everything went well for ya. And she does look like she could be named Madeline, so you guys lucked out- you don't have to change the name to Gertrude or anything. Phew, I was worried for ya.

YAY!!!! I'm so excited for you guys! And Madeleine is ADORABLE! Congrats, Bob, to being an auntie, as well!
I have been looking online at ways to pronounce Madeleine. It seems that the most popular ways are American "Mad-a-lyn" or the French "Mad-ah-len" which way will you pronounce it?
Mad-eh-line. Thanks for asking! Lots of people, right after asking me what her name is, say something like, "oh that's cute. Madelyn." No, are you deaf? I just told you it was Madeleine. It is the French spelling, just real traditional and all, we're not too into the whole lets-spell-a-perfectly-good-name-with-an-x-and-two-ee's kind of thing that you get a lot of out here.
To be honest though, I named her Madeleine knowing people would call her Madelyn sometimes, but that's just unavoidable. Heck, I've been called Madelyn!
