I like it and it does go well with your other names. Like Adelaide Adams from Calamity Jane. Adele is not as nice.

I like it but my DH is from there and he refused to consider it! I thought it would be a nice reference! Ver pretty. Adele is not to be compared!

I love it. I'm Australian too, but would consider it even so. And I do know a little Australian Adelaide.

Absolutely love it. Now if I could only talk DH into DD2

I immediately thought of

'The strange affair of Adeleide Harris.' A TV series from 1979. I loved it and have always loved the name.

Beautiful name. Do it!! Don't like Adele at all.

MamaLazarou · 02/05/2011 12:10

Adelaide is beautiful.

I'm not sure

ZZZenAgain · 02/05/2011 12:14

have rolled it around on my tongue a bit and no, I don't really like it that much. Cecilia and Isobel I like more tbh
