[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f].

While I prefer [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] to [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (Guys and Dolls really cinched that for me!), I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] sounds better with [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]. It’s the repeating “uhl” sounds… Rach-uhl [name_m]Ad[/name_m]-uhl-aide that throw me off.
