Madelyn has seven letters with the d and l providing height in the middle and the y adding a descender near the end. The capital M opens with a bold triple-peak, and the a-d connection early on involves a short-to-tall transition. The l-y-n ending has a satisfying rhythm.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital M's final stroke sweeps right. Guide it into the a's upstroke.
Close the a, then push up into the d's tall stem. Commit to the height change.
The l drops from full height and the stroke continues down into the y's descender.
The d and l are both tall letters. They should be the same height as each other.
The y's descender is the lowest point of the name. Give it room below the baseline.
Break the name into Mad-elyn when practicing. Each half has its own feel.
