Adeline

[Notyetamummy]

What do people think?

Lovely

Personally prefer Adelaide

No, I prefer Adeline! Lovely.

That's my charge's grandmother's name and I love it! She's known as Addie, which is a lovely nickname.

It is my DD's middle name, after my grandma, I love it and sometimes wish we had used it as her first name...

Adele or Adela are nicer imo. Adeline reminds me of 'Sweet Adeline' and barbershop quartets.

Don´t dislike, but prefer Adelina.

Adeline is nice certainely better than adele, adelaide, adela and adelina, but then I have the french prononciation in mind I have no idea how you would prononce it in the UK.

It's lovely but I immediately thought of adeline character from that tv show Bread. Squeeky voice and a bit dim.

But I'm obviously the only one so that won't matter

Prefer Emmeline or Adelaide, but yes it's nice.

Prefer Adele. And Adelaide. Or just plain Ada.

I love Adelaide and it would absoutely fit our surname - but we are moving to Australia and would look like weirdos. :(

Adeline is lovely.

mamaloco, I would pronouce it Ad-er-line. Line to rhyme with pine.
Is that right? What's the French way?

Adelheid is the germanic version of Adelaide.

I really like it.

how is it pronounced?
ad-er-lin
or ad-er-line?

i love it! very similar to madeleine but mmore unusual!

My grandma pronounced it ad-er-lin, and that is how we say it too

It is more like Ad-e-leen (-e- is the french can't find anything close to it in english, may be the -u- in but)

I'm afraid I saw the heading and thought it read Adrenaline... however I do think it's nice. Prefer Adelaide for that reason

Completely lovely

Thanks everyone!
