Adeline. Adaline is all kinds of wrong and people will think you can't spell and your daughter would not thank you.

Thanks

Adeline definitely. How would you pronounce them both?

Adaline in my head sounds like Ahhh-da-leen, whereas Adeline in my head is pronounced Add-eh-line.

Adeline for sure, nice name.
adaline sounds like some sort of over the counter medicine to me.
