We're really struggling to find a girls name that's right for us. DP found a name he really likes & I thought it was nice too but literally no one we've casually mentioned it to likes it. We don't feel we can ask people who know us to tell us what they think in case we did end up picking it & it'd be awkward. But really I'm not too keen to pick something that seems so unpopular. So can I ask what you think of this name? What does it evoke?
It's Adaline (pronounced Add-a-line)

I quite like it but it's spelt Adeline. Add-eh-line.

I like it but for some reason when written Adeline seems softer imo, even though pronounced the same.

It's unusual and makes a nice change from cutesy names.

I like it. Lovely for a little girl and an adult.

Adaline looks like a type of headache tablet. Sorry.

But spelt Adeline

I like it! Reminds me of that film with Blake Lively in. A really classy film so for me, all good associations.

Love. We considered but ending up going with Eleanor
