Adeline. Plus I love the nick name Addie

Margot= Magot That's all I can see Hmm

Adeline could be pronounced either Ad-uh-leen, Ad-uh-lyne, or Ad-uh-lin. Ad-uh-lyne sounds like you’re saying ‘add a line’. Ad-uh-lin sounds like you’ve missed the M off Madeleine. It also makes me think of Adderall, the ADHD drug.

I’d go with Margot.

Adeline

Either they are both great

ummlilia · 18/02/2018 12:53

Margot- because I loved The Good Life, and because Adeline makes me think of barbershop quartets singing 'Sweet Adeline'. (However I suspect I am in a vastly different age bracket from the OP and her friends who probably won't get that reference Smile)

Adeline, pronounced Ad-e-leen. Margot is ok as a middle name but sounds a bit stuck up

Esther00 · 18/02/2018 12:48

Margot 💞

daisypond · 18/02/2018 10:16

Prefer Margot.

alpineibex · 18/02/2018 10:16

Adeline!

Margot makes me think of The Good Life every time.

witchofzog · 18/02/2018 10:13

I know an Adeline who pronounces it Ad eleen. Either way it's still a lovely name.

Margot reminds me of the Good Life. Wasn't the snobby neighbour called Margot?

Margot.

I know a little Margot, & she's a peach.

feebeemee · 18/02/2018 08:16

Adeline is gorgeous

user1483387154 · 18/02/2018 08:12

Adeline
Pronounced ada line

BoofayTheOompaLoompaSlayer · 18/02/2018 08:10

We're stuck on girls names (we have a boy name sorted). I love Adela but hubs doesn't. I was toying with Adelina as it's similar and very pretty.
I think Adeline is a beautiful name!!
Would you pronounce is Ade-line or Ade-leen?

Tessermee · 18/02/2018 08:04

Adeline - very pretty. Also like Emmeline.
Really don’t like Margot - quite an ugly sounding name imo

Jammycustard · 18/02/2018 08:03

Margot

MadisonAvenue · 18/02/2018 08:02

Adeline is a beautiful name, Margot sounds harsh.

pipilangstrumpf · 18/02/2018 07:55

Adeline! Beautiful, feminine and always pronounced the same.

Don't like the look of Margot and the pronunciation Mar-gott.

SuperBeagle · 18/02/2018 06:02

Adeline.
