What do you think of Adelaide?

[Lizzie2110]

We already have a William (6), Cecelia (3) and an Isobel (18 months)...dh not too sure as he used to live on an Adelaide avenue!

I like it!

It's been mentioned a few times on the WilliKat names thread.

[HowsTheSerenity]

It is a lovely name and would love to name my potential daughter that but given that I live in Australia and it is the name of a capital city I won't be able to.

Adele is lovely but I'm not keen on Adelaide

[OkeeDoeKee]

It was my Grannie's name and she absolutely hated it (she died 25 years ago aged 95 so you can see she was named at the end of the 19th century when it may have been a bit more common!).

She was lovely and I've always liked it as a name although I've never known a another real life Adelaide.

Agree with Lions that Adele is nice. Adelaide reminds me of Neighbours.

Adelina is my Spanish grandma's name.

[nothingnatural]

Ha, I live in Adelaide, so it'd be a nope from me.

Also I think Adele is naff.

Your other children's names are lovely, partic Cecelia which I adore.

I really like it. I'd be more inclined to use it as a middle name, but it's pretty.
I think Adele would be better as a first name.

But there are millions of Adele's out there; go on, be different!! ;)
Unless you're Australian.

Misread your original post.

As long as you don't live there now it's fine. I know a Thomas who lives on Thomas Street.

[theagedparent]

I think it is lovely

[kiwidreamer]

I have friends who have named their LO Adelaide Frances Lastname, Addie for NN, she is a gorgeous 8mth old, its a nice name :)

[ComeAlongPond]

I think it's a lovely name, as are your other DC's.

[Maud2011]

Much as I love Adelaide from the Sally Lockhart books I don't think it's a very pretty name. "laide" is French for "ugly" and I can never quite forget that when I see the name Adelaide, or that it begins with something that sounds like "addled".

[BuntyPenfold]

I have just chosen that name for a hen, sorry :)

[EauRouge]

My DD2 is called Adelaide so obviously I think it's a wonderful name, for a child or a hen

[TreacleChops]

Adelaide was my "French Name" in school..... i always liked being a "Adeaide" for the hour every French lesson lol x

[pinguwings]

Beautiful, classy name. Works well with your other children too.

[PheasantPlucker]

I love the name Adelaide.
I truly hate the name Adele though!

[aliveandkickingme]

I love Adelaide and think it would work v well with your children's names

[MayBankHoliday]

Adelina is nice. Adelaide sounds a bit like a fizzy drink.

[Chocolocolate]

It's OK, but I prefer Adeline.

[MelinaM]

Hmm, not keen at all I'm afraid!

[nooka]

I think that Adelaide is a great name for a hen Not so keen for a baby
