Adaline/Adeline/Adeleine etc

[JollyGiraffe12]

Pronunciation would be add-uh-line and a potential nickname of Ada. Which spelling would you choose? I prefer traditional spellings in general but I’m leaning towards Adaline at present.

Spelling wise I'd say Adaline rather than Adeline as youre more likely to get people pronouncing it Ada-line I think?

Adela is lovely

I would just use Ada. It's a beautiful name in and of itself.

All the rest sound like someone with adenoid problems.

Adaline is how I would spell it. Was going to be my girls name if DS was a girl. It’s lovely xx

Adeline

I'd go for Adeline.

I'd spell it Adeline

It’s got to be Adeline surely?

I've always loved this name and would spell it Adeline. If you like Ada as a nickname I once met an Adriana which I thought was really nice.

I would spell Adeline

Adeline.

Adeline

My grandmother's middle name was Adelia. It sounded lovely and feminine to me. My other grandmother was Adelaide. They called her Adie. I go Adel as a middle name for both. Never liked it much but i do love Adelia.

Adeline

Adeline

Definitely spell it Adeline.

Adeline.

Using Adaline would look like a typo, or that you can’t spell. Think ‘Micheal’

Adeline would be correct spelling. If you use Adeleine people will pronounce it Ad eh lane.

Bear in mind when teacher at school says, that’s not enough writing please Add a line more ...

No matter what spelling you use, your DD will be nicknamed Addie in school because Adeline and all the other birth cert names you are considering have that initial short A sound.

If you want to call her Ada, which has a long A sound, then I think you should make that her official name.

I know an Adeline called Addie.

I would just go with Ada if that's what you want though.

I don't like any of them or Ada or Adele.
Ada is the least bad one.

Adela is a very old name - dates back to Middle Ages. I know a charming ten year old Adela - it is often abbreviated to Addie with her

Adeline
