There's a Barber Shop style song called "Sweet Adeline". Some friends of DS used to sing it at school concerts. Very retro!

It goes,

Sweet Adeline
Will you be mine?
Etc

I prefer it pronounced Ada - leen. How about Adele, Adela, Ada?

Depends on the language:
In German I'd say Ah-de-LINE
In French Ad-e-LEEN
In English probably Ade-LYNE

Ad-a-leen. I used to work with one (French).

Beautiful name.
