How would you say this name?
Add-uh-leen
Add-uh-line
Add-uh-linn

One of the reasons we chose DS1's name is that there's literally only 1 spelling and 1 pronunciation and it's not well used but everyone's heard of it.
I like Adaline for DC2 but I think it might be one with various pronunciations and people constantly asking how to spell it.
Just wanted to see if there is a consensus here!

Pretty conclusive, thanks everyone! Now to convince DH...
@LunaLoveFood it is a girl's name, we don't know what sex this baby will be yet.

Add-a-lyn, but I wouldn't be confident and would ask if I was pronouncing it correctly!

Scottish here so pronunciation may be a bit different.
