Adele is a lovely alternative iykwim

Adelaide is very pretty when pronouced with a french accent. It's a very old name. I wanted the germanic version Adelheide (Heidi for short) if ds had been a girl.

Adele is lovely as well.

Have asked a few people this afternoon, all hate it. What about 'Romford'?

petalpower · 23/05/2009 17:09

I knew an old lady (family friend) whose name was Adelaide. She hated it and was always known as Molly!

Love it

Thanks for the suggestion loveoneson but Romford is not really my taste- each to his own, I guess.

Romy short for romford is nice

Romford though, you're 'avin' a laff. I used to work in Romford in issix, in a building refered to by my colleagues as 'exigin 'assssss.

peppapig3 · 23/05/2009 19:25

Romford is a bit Kaff and Kim (I think that's what you mean)!

Really like it but then I'm a fan of old fashioned names!
