Adeline or Chelsea
36

Which do you think? Is Chelsea too 80s/90s?
orangeisthenewpuce · 28/07/2022 23:30
Adeline definitely. Chelsea is indeed very unfashionable now.

Adaline

Yes, Adeline is beautiful and timeless whereas Chelsea, although a nice name, is a bit dated.
Friffle · 28/07/2022 23:47
Neither tbh.
Chelsea seems a bit 90s naff and Adeline is a stuffy name for a creepy Victorian doll. MN will give Adeline the thumbs up though.
Linnet · 28/07/2022 23:48
Adeline, it's a lovely name and quite unusual.
Bubbleguppette · 28/07/2022 23:48
Adeline, don't really like Chelsea.
But there are a few different pronunciations of Adeline
PeekabooAtTheZoo · 28/07/2022 23:51
Adeline. Gorgeous 1920s name.
Chelsea is cute but it's also the (current) name of Barbie's youngest sister.
FlissyPaps · 28/07/2022 23:56
Adeline. (Would it be pronounced Ad-a-lynne or Ad-a-line?) really nice either way!
I was born early 90’s and know loads of Chelsea’s but can’t imagine it’s too popular now. Also a nice name!
Luredbyapomegranate · 29/07/2022 00:05
Adeline, although I Adelaide best and Adela even better.
Chelsea is fucking appalling, like calling your child Chardonnay.
CourtWint · 29/07/2022 00:09
I think the traditional pronunciation is. Ad-ah-line because of a few songs I've heard but I do think some people pronounce it Ad-ah-lynn which is also pretty.
Maddiehere · 29/07/2022 01:32
I say Add-ah-leen for Adaline, so that's another version.
blameitonthecaffeine · 29/07/2022 01:55
Adeline, I think.
I actually Chelsea has a really pretty sound and I probably prefer it to Adeline. But it has 90s associations (not particularly positive ones either) and has become dated rather than a classic. Shame. I hope it returns.
CourtWint · 29/07/2022 02:38
I appreciate all the feedback!!
UpToMyElbowsInDiapers · 29/07/2022 02:40
Adeline by a long shot!
Clairewentoverthemountain · 29/07/2022 03:49
Adaline!
Clairewentoverthemountain · 29/07/2022 03:50
(pronounced with the 'line' said the same way as Caroline)
TabithaTittlemouse · 29/07/2022 05:04
Definitely not Chelsea.
FayCarew · 29/07/2022 08:06
They are both awful
TrashPandas · 29/07/2022 08:09
Chelsea is really bad but Adeline isn't great either and she'd have to spell it out a lot.
pilates · 29/07/2022 08:23
Adeline
Chelsea is awful
Biscuitsneeded · 29/07/2022 14:14
Adeline. Chelsea is truly awful.
toomuchlaundry · 29/07/2022 14:17
Neither
SpaceJamtart · 29/07/2022 14:21
Adeline, I like the Fever Dolls song and would say it that way
CourtWint · 29/07/2022 19:10
Just looked up the song and I agree with the pronunciation. I like the song by Avril and the Sequoias
CourtWint · 29/07/2022 20:54
Any suggestions?
