Adelaide (nn Ada)?

Hello

We are still on a quest for a girl's name....it was not this hard the first time round!

What do people think about Adelaide, with Ada as a nickname? Middle name will be Hope.

We have a one syllable (rare) surname and all have quite unusual names. DD is called Arabel.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Beautiful name. I know a 4yr old one with nn Addie.

Oooh Adelaide Hope is a really, really beautiful name!!!. Gorgeous. Ada is lovely but with a name like Adelaide I'd be using the full version most. Smile

Great name.

I think Adelaide is lovely!

I'm not so sure about Ada as the nn (sounds rather dull to me) but the day-to-day name will probably evolve spontaneously anyhow.
