[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]. I love how it sounds, I love the nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] for it and I just overall love it. I’ve never cared for [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and I don’t like how there are multiple pronunciations for it.

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]! I think it sounds more delicate and old-fashioned. They’re both lovely though and are very wearable.

I think they’re both wearable, but [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is definitely my favourite. The sound just trips off the tongue, and I love that.

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] by far. It has more history and more vintage charm. I prefer the sound of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and it has one clear pronunciation. Also I adore the nickname [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

I’m going to be in the minority and say [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]. I love both names, but the second syllable sound of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is a bit offputting. [name_u]Truly[/name_u], you can’t go wrong with either!

I love [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and not so keen on [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] so easy one for me. I love the history, femininity and strength of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], and cute nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (though [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is fine too.) [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] fits squarely in with the currently trendy vintage chic, so has its appeal in that style (eg [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]), whereas [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] has a more traditional and timeless appeal.
