Girl Names Ending in -een, -ine, and ene
In the middle of the last century, any name that ended in the -een sound was automatically cool. Noreen, Doreen, Florine -- anything went.
Now it seems as if the opposite may be true. When girl names DO end in -ine, it's often pronounced with a long I as in Caroline or as lyn as in Madeline.
