Adelaide or Adeline

My DH is sure he wants to use an [name]Addie[/name] for a future daughter. His original idea was [name]Addison[/name], which I like but not enough to use. He is happy as long as it is an [name]Addie[/name] name. Which do you prefer [name]Adelaide[/name] or [name]Adeline[/name]? Are there any other [name]Addie[/name] names that you can suggest?

I like them both. Being an Aussie and [name]Adelaide[/name] being a capital city I would go with adeline. Tho [name]Adelaide[/name] sounds very classy. I had adalia on my list and I know an [name]Addison[/name].

[name]Adeline[/name] is my pick. Would it be add-uh-linn or add-uh-line???

[name]Adelaide[/name] for sure.

Other ideas:
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Adina[/name]
[name]Nadia[/name] nn [name]Addie[/name]
[name]Nadine[/name] nn [name]Addie[/name]

I really like both! I like [name]Adeline[/name] for me, but knowing your other favorites, I think I like [name]Adelaide[/name] better for you. [name]Adeline[/name] is just so sweet, though!

Other [name]Addy[/name] names…

[name]Adele[/name]/[name]Adela[/name]
[name]Adelia[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name]!)
[name]Adamina[/name] (I don’t know where I found this, but I’m practically obsessed! I love saying it, it’s so sweet)
[name]Adah[/name] (I love that this was actually used in the Bible, although I’m not sure where. [name]Said[/name] [name]ADD[/name]-ah as opposed to AY-dah.)
Adelise/Adalise/Adeliese (not sure about the traditional spelling–I like Adalise and Adeliese/Adaliese best, I think)
[name]Adriana[/name]/[name]Adrienne[/name]

I think [name]Adelia[/name], Adalise, and [name]Adah[/name] are my favorites… well, besides [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Adeline[/name] themselves.

My pick is [name]Adeline[/name] I like the “add leen” prn but I think you could do that or line, I don’t think lynn would sound that great :confused:

Oooh, forgot another one! [name]Adaya[/name]. Although we’ve been talking about that one, haha, and I’m not sure it fits with your list, but I still really love it. I like the suggestion of [name]Adina[/name], too, missed that one earlier.

[name]Adelaide[/name]. [name]Adeline[/name] might cause some pronunciation problems just like [name]Emmeline[/name].

[name]Adelaide[/name] would be my choice. I know a lot of little girls named [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Adelyn[/name], etc. Plus, I really love [name]Adelaide[/name], though I prefer nn [name]Della[/name] to [name]Addie[/name].

I’d go with [name]Adelaide[/name]. :slight_smile:
