I'd pronounce it with -ine as -een.

There's a Barber Shop style song called "Sweet Adeline". Some friends of DS used to sing it at school concerts. Very retro!

It goes,

Sweet Adeline
Will you be mine?
Etc

I prefer it pronounced Ada - leen. How about Adele, Adela, Ada?

I've got a French friend called Adeline - she says Ad-e-leen.

GwendolineMaryLacedwithBrandy · 01/12/2011 10:57

Ad-el-leen in my family

Twas my great granny's name.

ViviPrudolf · 01/12/2011 11:44

I like it thus:

Ay-del-line

hulabula · 01/12/2011 13:19

Depends on the language:
In German I'd say Ah-de-LINE
In French Ad-e-LEEN
In English probably Ade-LYNE

MamaLazarou · 01/12/2011 14:05

Ad-a-leen. I used to work with one (French).

Beautiful name.

My cousin is pronounced Adda-leen - we've always called her Addie for short (Add-ee) which I love
