Adeline?

So I've posted a couple of threads recently. Originally thinking of a naming our DD something classic like Emily or Alice which are both lovely, but seems a shame to use something so popular when there are so many lovely names out there.

I love Beatrix but my DH has firmly vetoed it.

We've come across the name Adeline and both kind of love it. Nickname could be Ada or Addie. Any thoughts? She would be Adeline Freda. Seems to be an old fashioned name but not too popular?

Beautiful name. If you use the name, people will hear it and repeat it. I don’t think pronunciation would be an issue.

I absolutely love Adrianna with nickname Adie (rhyming with Sadie)

Absolutely love it. Very classy but not in a stuffy way.

I was in Smyth's once and heard a child being called for by their parents. Adelina! Adore that too.

Apologies to go against the flow. It sounds a bit like an acne cream or medication to me.

Then again, my son's name can be tweaked into a commonly used euphemism for your bottom, so I should keep quiet!

It's a lovely name!
