Adeline

[Tryingtokeepfit]

What do you think about the name Adeline?
It's getting very popular in America and is #79 according to Babycentre.

Pronounced like Madeline but without the 'M'
AD- A -LINE

I'm worried it's a little unheard of and 'out there's. But I like that it's a little more unique than Madeline. Also I like the NN Addy

I really like it. It would be on my shortlist if I ever had a daughter.

Have you read The Thirteenth Tale?

I'd like it if it was pronounced Adeleen, but not so keen on Adelin. Adeleen might be 'cool' in the way that Jolene is slightly these days.

I always thought it was pronounced Adaline, to rhyme with 'mine'.

I love it (although thought it was pronounced Adel-eeen) Loved it since I saw the film Age of Adeline!

But DH vetoed sadly

I like it pronounced ‘Ad-a-lin’ although I do love the name Madeleine/Madeline (pronounced ‘lin’ not ‘line’ at the end) and think it looks and sounds nicer than Adeline. However appreciate Adeline is lesser heard of.

I love it.. there's the Blake Lively film with it in!

I love it. I lived in Canada for a bit and I knew a girl called Adeline, Addy for short. Really plucky little kid and the name suited her perfectly.

I love it, on my list if I am lucky enough to have another DC

I love Adeline, but really dislike Ada that it could be shortened to

Oh great, it's liked :-)

Ah yes, I came across it from that movie The Age of Adaline (I think the English spelling is Adeline though not Adaline)

I'm a little confused on the pronunciation now though?
AD-A-LIN ? (Would this be spelled Adelin?)
AD-A-LINE?
AD-A-LEEN? (Wouldn't this be spelled Adeleine?)

I'm confused

Ad-a-line, I think.

I don't love it, personally.

I like it.

Would have assumed pronunciation was 'Ad-ell-ine' though.

I really like it, especially with the nickname Della like in the film but I’ve taken it off my list because I think they’ll be too much confusion over spelling & pronunciation. That is just a personal name requirement!

There’ll not they’ll!

Add-a-line for me (pronunciation-wise)
My dads pick for DC, mainly because of the film.
I preferred Adelaide (on our list) but Adeline is lovely and I've seen it mentioned here a lot recently so others must share your opinion OP :)

I think it's confusing and not pretty

I'd assume Adeline rhymes with whine.

How about Addison?

Add-A-line
Add-a-son

Hmm DH doesn't like Addison. I like it though.

Interesting to hear one previous poster thinks Adeline is confusing.

i was going to post about the name adelaide and saw your post which caught my eye. love the name adeline, quite unusual but pretty

Awful and the nn Addy is just horrible. Sorry.

Urgh Addison is even worse. Addison's disease for a start.

It was on my list for DD (also due to the same film!) but taken off due to confusion and uncertainty how to pronounce it. Didn’t want to give my DD a name that I may be pronouncing wrong!

Mary Poppins I'm afraid about the pronunciation too. Hmmm perhaps it will be a name where she will constantly have to spell it out/correct people too, that would be annoying...

DS2’s girlfriend is called Adeline - rhymes with “mine”. I’d never heard it before he met her. I think it’s quite nice and for me it will always be associated with someone —mad as a box of frogs— interesting .
