What do you think about Adaline or Adalin?

[Lilonetwo]

What do you think about these two names Adaline (Ad-a-line) or Adalin (Ad-a-lin).

Do you like them?
Which do you prefer?

Adeline - character from the Carla Lane soap “Bread”, not a character/personality I would want to saddle my child with, but Adalin sounds like it would cure a headache - take 2 with water. Sorry

Well neither of them are names. Just jumbled up letters.

How about Adeleine, which has the benefit of being a real name.

They sounds like brand names of a drug, especially the second one. Sorry.

I'd consider Madeleine or Adelaide ... Adeline i think will be misheard as Madeline, and I think Adalin doesn't look right and might be pronounced as Ayda-Lin?

The girl in Bread was called AVELINE.
Adaline and Adalin sound like over the counter painkillers.

I like Adaline, it looks feminine.

Adalin looks like the masculine version.

Does Adeline look better in words then?

Newideastoday they most definitely are names
nameberry.com/babyname/Adaline number 175 in popularity.

Adeline is currently number 79 on babycentre.

I do prefer the look of Adeline thinking about it.

Although Adalin or Adelin or Adelyn seem a 'smoother' sounding name.

Like Madalin Vs Madalin I suppose?

I think they both sound quite harsh and at first glance I thought Aladdin- sorry

I like Adeline best. Adalin looks like Aladdin to me. Nice shortened name Addy too.

My great-grandmother was Adeline, born in the late 1800s. I rather like it!

ha ha that's funny about looking like Aladdin. I thought that when I was typing it for the first time.

Adele is much nicer, and such a pretty name.

Adeline is lovely and looks better written down too. Adalin looks too close to Aladdin!

Makes me think of

1. Adrenalin
2. Stalin
3. Aladdin

How about Adeline in that case? I agree- looks better written down.

I don't like Adele. It reminds me of Babybel. Completely silly I know.

don'tbuymesocks it's very classic isn't it. But it's not incredibly popular.

Thought Anadin!!

I prefer Adaline, but not keen.

What about Adelaide?

I don't like Adele either. Ada, Adelaide and Adeline are all a bit frumpy.

Having never come across any of them, Adaline looks a bit like a girl’ s name, Adeline looks more like a girl’s name. Adalin looks like a proprietary remedy.

It owes its newfound popularity in the US to the film so I guess you should watch that if you haven’t already.

First thought was Aladdin. Adaline would auto correct to A saline and Adalin to Avalon on my phone. Although lots of names autocorrect these are already unusual names.

OP I agree, it is a traditional name and not very popular like so many ‘granny names’ are now. Personally, I think that’s a good thing but I’d definitely give it the traditional spelling as variants will just confuse people.

Love Adeline (Addie).

I like it, with the 'Line' sound at the end rather than 'Lin' it reminds me of the film 'The Age of Adaline'
