Adelyn, Adelaide? Thoughts?

[flossiefloo]

(Using my sister floss’s account since I don’t have one!)

Due a DD mid Sept and liking Adelyn (Add uh lin) and Adelaide. (Too Australian?) They are so pretty imo and like nn Addie. But I’m not sold. Also should add I dislike Adeline (line not lin) so not using that.

DS (2) is Alexander Jr and known as Sandy or sometimes AJ to everyone atm.

Thoughts?

Thanks all

I like Adelaide

Adela?

Never heard of Adelyn.

Adelaide

Love Adelaide but worry it’s too fussy

Love Adelaide. It was my great grandmother’s name. I think it’s definitely due a comeback.

Love your DS’s name too. Alexander nn Sandy was on our shortlist for our DS.

Do you really want Adele / Adela ?
Adelaide is nice though. Adelyn is probably doing to be said Adeline until you’ve corrected, which isn’t the end of the world though it’ll be annoying.

I love Adelaide, a stylish traditional name. I really dislike Adelyn which sounds like an American mashup (they love lyn ending names).

Adelaide was my grandmother's middle name. Adelia was my other grandmother's middle name. I love both of them.

The Adelaide was born in Canada. The Adelia was born in Finland.

I know an Adeline. I prefer that or Adelyn.

I like Adelaide but have you considered Adrienne? Is also nice and very similar

I'm not personally a fan of either Adelaide or Adeline, and much prefer the suggestions of either Adele or Adrienne.

My DD is an Adelaide. She absolutely loves her name and it really suits her! It's becoming increasingly popular, as is Addie.

Adelaide is a great name! Adelyn isn't.

Adelyn reminds me of an American drug, but I don’t know what?!

I love Adelaide, was on my lists for DC.

I also like the nickname Addie/Adi.

How about Adalia?

Adelaide is lovely!

Addison would also work for "Addie".

If you like Adelyn I'd at least spell is "Adeline". The Y looks a bit dated.

Adelaide is really lovely, and no, not too Australian--it was a popular European name long before the Australian city was thus named.

Adelyn etc. sounds like a half-arsed combination of "Adele" plus every name that's ever ended in "~lyn."

Adelaide is lovely, much nicer than Adelyn

Adelyn sounds someone got Madelyn / leine wrong.

I went to school with an Adelyn 20 years ago, I haven't met another one since but I do like the name. I prefer it to Adelaide but that is also a nice name. Addie as a nn is lovely.

Adelaide is my favourite
