Adalay

[Kelcat9494]

Hello,

We're thinking of making the baby Adalay Patrica Allen (common last name) if the baby is a girl but I'm not too sure, what do you guys think?

It’s a bit of a tongue twister with your second name?

I do like it but it sounds so much like Adelaide that I'd thing you'd/she'd said that. I love the name Adelaide (showing my age...Adelaide Adams)

Is it pronounced like Adelaide? Like Add-ee-lay?

I think the alliteration might be a bit of a struggle but honestly she won't have to use both names together all that often.

If you introduced her to me in person I'd probably think it's Adelaide. I don't even know how I'd pronounce it if I saw it written.

Ah-dah-lay?
A-dalay?

Like others I'd assume I'd misheard Adelaide. It really doesn't go well with the surname.

I know someone called Adalee which is quite nice.

Not very keen as it's a bit too much with the surname.

I'd think you were saying Adelaide too. Which is a beautiful name!

Adalay is horrendous.

Adelaide is lovely. Addie is such a cute nn as well.

Nah. I’d also think Adelaide....and not with your surname. Sorry.

This will be your child’s experience:

“Adelaide ? No? What? How are you spelling that.Adelay?. No? Adellay? “ And so on and so on.

It’s a nice sounding name though

It's alright 😉

Adalay sounds like a made up, trying to be different name to me.

Adelaide is nice though- and I'm sure many people will think Adalay is called Adelaide anyway!

Adelaide Allen is lovely. Agree with PP about Adalay.

Like Leela's horrible boyfriend in Futurama?

No great to my ear. Just think Adelaide. Then think why make up a name that sounds like Adelaide. Adele ? Lovely name. Adeline ? (Not fond personally but it’s a name !)
Congrats op. And good luck with the name.

Adalay lends itself to cruel, crude "humour" in High School

"I'd lay"

Oh ‘a delay’ unfortunate.

Or ‘had a lay’

I know a girl called Adalai (rhymes with “had a pie”) - are you pronouncing Adalay like that too?

Oh and mans name Adlai as in Stevenson.

Love it.

Im not sure how you pronounce it so I'm reading it as ad-ah-lay which I dont think really works with your surname.

Adelaide is okay because the d breaks it up, without it it just roles into one.

Sounds made-up.

I would call her Adelaide Patricia, personally. Two misspelled names is really too much for any child.
