Adele?

Thoughts on Adele? The name specifically, not the singer

[Moreteaandchocolate]

Lovely name, although she might get people singing at her now and again!

It's ok. I neither like or dislike it. It's nicer than Adelaide, Adeline and Ada.

I like Adela but not Adele

Same as I like Estella but not Estelle

For some reason I think the Latin versions with an A on the end sound better in English than the French

I've never met an Adele in real life, the only one I know of is the singer so it sounds the same in my brain as calling your kid Madonna or Beyoncé. So a no from me.

I’ve known two Adeles. Both older in their 50s and 60s. I’ve always loved the name and don’t know why it’s not more popular

[salamithumbs]

I really like it!

It's not at all the same. Adele has been a fairly common name in the past. I have known two in my life. I have never known a Madonna or Beyonce.
It's a nice name OP if you like it use it.

I love Adele! I've loved it since I read Jane Eyre as a child, she is one of the characters. I always thought it sounded beautiful and glamorous and exotic.

I really like the name Adele!

I think it’s lovely

[Sundaysunshine21]

I like the name, and while I think she would get comments about the singer it’s not such a unique name to be like Beyonce, Britney, Cher etc. where it would be almost certain that she was named after the celebrity.

Thanks everyone! Adele is actually my name but I've never liked it and always wondered what others thought about it! This helps a lot. It's hit and miss but not too bad - think I'll stay away from deed poll for a bit!

Sorry not to my taste

@FlangeBoil , I'm not keen on my name. The full name is nice but it gets mangled. I go by a diminutive but i wouldn't have chosen it.
I respond to it but if i had another name in mind I'd change it.
