I currently expecting our second child and we have just found out that we are expecting a girl!

Adeline was on our list when we had our son three years ago but we went off it a bit at the beginning of this pregnancy. However since finding out she is a she I am considering it again!

What is the general feeling on this name?

Our son has a different but heard of name that is becoming more popular (I think it is in the top 400) and we want something similar for our daughter. I worry that, with the recent release of the film Age of Adaline, this name might boom in popularity and join the beautiful but overused ranks of Ellie, Ava, Evie etc...

We love the shortening Addie and our other names on the list at the moment are:

Juno
Etta
Delilah
Henrietta
Xanthe

Thank you in advance!

It's not so bad, though had no idea it was in any way popular.

However, I do much prefer Delilah, Henrietta, and then Xanthe

Xanthe has been one of my favourite names for ages manicinsomniac, my only thoughts are how to shorten it, although it definitely doesn't need it, names are inevitably shortened or lengthened (Eve-Evie, Jane-Janey). Do you shorten your daughter's name at all?

Thanks for your reply!

I like Delilah and Xanthe best of your ideas.

I think Adeline is pretty and very unlikely to ever reach Ellie, Evie, Ava levels of popularity.

I also love Etta and Xanthe. I have a 1 year old Xanthe and haven't met any others.

I quite like Juno but am not keen of Henrietta or Delilah.
