I don't like Adelaide as

  1. I can imagine Kim from Kath and Kim shrieking it instead of Ebonaaaaaaaaaaaaaay quite easily
  2. It has the word Laide at the end which means ugly in french

Adelaide - has a nice sound to it. Never really liked Penelope sorry (also makes me think of penelope pittstop)

both are nice for penelope think penelope cruz rather than keith. Adelaide could be shorten to Adele or Adela. In germanic countries the nickname for Adelaide is Heidi.
I'd go for Penelope Adelaide as middle names are often chosen for a sentimental reason Hope that helps.
