Thoughts on the name Adele?

It's not very popular at the moment which has drawn me to it more. What are people's opinions on this name?

I think it's gorgeous. But I think people will assume she's named after the singer, but that's certainly not a bad thing

I like it.

VulcanWoman · 13/01/2016 13:15

nextusername · 13/01/2016 13:17

Gorgeous name Smile

There's an Adele in my dds year 3 class and I love it. I don't like the way it always seems to get shortened to Del though!

Sunshine511 · 13/01/2016 14:01

Love it, and a name I hadn't thought of yet myself so thank you!!x

Sophronia · 13/01/2016 15:04

It's a lovely name. Adela and Adelaide are nice too.

DramaAlpaca · 13/01/2016 15:22

I think it's a lovely, sophisticated name.

KatharinaRosalie · 13/01/2016 15:24

Lovely. We considered it and also Adeline for DD.

MamaLazarou · 13/01/2016 17:07

I think it's lovely. Simple, understated, elegant.

Rosaaa · 13/01/2016 17:39

I like it. Also Estelle which I find similar

weebarra · 13/01/2016 17:42

I know a baby Adele. I think it's a lovely name.

RookieMonster · 13/01/2016 17:44

It's very nice!

Sorry you're unhappy with it, Sunbeam. Why not?

mudandmayhem01 · 13/01/2016 17:44

I know an Adela,both variants are lovely

CakeRattleandRoll · 14/01/2016 14:13

I like it.

MitzyLeFrouf · 14/01/2016 15:18

There's also Edel which is very common in Ireland.

SuburbanRhonda · 14/01/2016 15:20

I think it looks nicer than it sounds. A Dell.

Adelina is lovely though.

Sunbeam1112 · 14/01/2016 16:14

Rookie i don't know really i suppose not many people do like their own names. I would loved to be called rachel or nicola lol

zippyswife · 14/01/2016 17:19

Adele and Edel are in my list. I like it. Uncommon but not try hard.

Alisvolatpropiis · 14/01/2016 17:21

I was about to say Adele is lovely and unusual without being wacky but clearly an owner of the name thinks otherwise! Blush

See, I have a top 5 name that was in the top 5 for about a decade either side of my birth year. There are thousands upon thousands of other "Rookies" around. Although I like my name very much, it would have been nice to have been named something less common as a child and teen.
