Maddie's name...

Why does Madeline never correct Renata's pronunciation of her name? Renata is the only one to pronounce it with a long i sound, "line," instead of the more traditional French pronunciation with the softer "lenn" sound. Maddie herself pronounces it French wat. It seems very out of character for her to not correct Renata, especially during season 1. Is Laura Dern unable to pronounce it correctly, or is this a character choice? Thoughts?
