Adaline

[HiCandles]

How would you say this name?
Add-uh-leen
Add-uh-line
Add-uh-linn

One of the reasons we chose DS1's name is that there's literally only 1 spelling and 1 pronunciation and it's not well used but everyone's heard of it.
I like Adaline for DC2 but I think it might be one with various pronunciations and people constantly asking how to spell it.
Just wanted to see if there is a consensus here!

Thank you. It’s a while since I watched it.

My friend has an Adelyn (pronounced "ah-dih-linn") I'd pronounce it the same way it's just a different spelling of the same name.
I'm also Scottish and this pronunciation makes sense to me. Never heard anyone use a "line" pronunciation regardless of spelling.
Beautiful name. My only hesitation would be it will get mis-spelled often, however people mis-spell my child's name which is a really popular Biblical name that only really has one spelling!

I know two babies called this, both add a line (like the film).

We have an Adaline 🥰
Pronounced Add-a-line

Yes, we have to spell/confirm how to pronounce once we first meet people but it's not a big deal. We get lots of compliments on her name.

I was back and forth between this spelling and the French Adeline version for the same reasons, but we preferred Adaline and glad we went with it.

One of my fave songs

(It's called Adeline)

It's been said upthread already - it's pronounced with the same ending as Caroline and the usual spelling is Adeline. Adaline looks wrong, and any other pronunciation isn't right.

Adeline is a much nicer spelling. Madeleine and Caroline are prettier names.

My dd's friend is Adeline - no one struggles to pronounce, all say Add-a-line

I actually struggle more with Evelyn and seem to always use the wrong pronunciation for the child, ironic as it's so popular.
