How do you say...

Maelynn? I have had a few people ask me this, so I thought I'd post.

It's "one" syllable, not two. (Because Shannon so kindly informed me that it's not one technically.) So when you say it (like I do), say Maelynn all in one breath without pausing at ALL, not Mae (insert short pause) Lynn.  Nichole says, "Not so much 1 syllable as no pause in between and the accent on Mae instead of Lynn."

Does that make sense? I was gonna make a cheesy video, but haven't done my hair today, so decided to spare you. :)

I have been going back and forth trying to figure out which way it might be. I can't believe she is 2 months already!

I feel stupid, but I totally don't get it. Write a pronunciation please! I can't figure out how it could be one syllable!

Not so much 1 syllable as no pause in between and the accent on Mae instead of Lynn? Does that help?

We can't help it, we are just wired to figure things out!

Thanks for the updates
