Which name should be the #1 on my list? MN [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] - Is it too close to [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]? [name_m]Will[/name_m] people get confused? I like [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] (it’s a GP), and am considering [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] (Av-uh-leen right?). Would [name_f]Avalon[/name_f]/[name_f]Aveline[/name_f] be called [name_f]Ava[/name_f]? I’m not a fan of Ava, but would Evie work? Or Avie? For [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] I love nn [name_f]Della[/name_f], but am ok with [name_f]Addie[/name_f] too.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] - Is it just a bit boring? I still love [name_f]Bea[/name_f] and don’t have a problem with her, just wondering which name is more exciting!
Definitely [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] for me. It’s super classy and the nickname possibilities are great. I love [name_f]Della[/name_f]! It hadn’t occurred to me before. I like [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] and [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] (I pronounce it av-uh-leen) and I would not call either [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is more exciting than [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].
If you want an exciting name I’d go with [name_f]Aveline[/name_f]. It’s unexpected and sounds really pretty and the nickname [name_f]Ava[/name_f] makes it sound very usable. [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is becoming a popular name at least where I am so it doesn’t sound like anything special to me. [name_f]Della[/name_f] is a cute nickname that makes it stand out from the Addies and [name_m]Adas[/name_m] though. I love [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and don’t find her boring at all because I’ve never met anyone of any age with this name. [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is really cute and I could imagine it working well on a young woman too. The only drawback is that I think it is more popular in other areas (I live in NY) and so maybe it’s not as unique and exciting where you are. So between [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] I’d vote fr [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] is most unique. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps
Between [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], my vote lies with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. I love how classic it is, plus the sweet nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is just so darling. I like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], but really don’t like [name_f]Della[/name_f] as a nn.
My vote is for [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]. I don’t believe it is too close to [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] at all. I also like [name_f]Aveline[/name_f]. I have never been a fan of [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], I prefer [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].
I would be very hesitant to use [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] after the release of Age of [name_f]Adaline[/name_f], I’m going to guess there will be a spike in [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Adaline[/name_f] especially since these names are already rising in popularity.
As for a sister for [name_f]Jane[/name_f] I think [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] sounds best. I love the nickname [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. If [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is to bland for you (I don’t see it that way) what about [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is adorable.
I love [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. [name_f]Delia[/name_f] is also a beautiful name on its own, or as a shortform for [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] because to me it lacks personality and there are too many ways to pronounce it. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] is a spunky name that I would use on its own, it’s one of my favourites, meanwhile [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] doesn’t crack my long list. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] is not a popular name like [name_f]Ava[/name_f].
Between [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], I prefer [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is so close to [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]/[name_u]Addison[/name_u] that I see it becoming extremely popular, especially with the new movie “The Age of [name_f]Adaline[/name_f]” coming out. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] hits that sweet spot of being uncommon but not unheard of, plus [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is an adorable nickname (way nicer than [name_f]Addie[/name_f] [name_f]IMO[/name_f]).
[name_f]Aveline[/name_f] is also a great option, and I don’t think [name_f]Ava[/name_f] would be the go-to NN. Maybe [name_f]Lina[/name_f].
Thanks for all your comments so far! So [name_f]Bea[/name_f] has 5 votes, [name_f]Della[/name_f] only 2, [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] (as a 2nd choice) got 3.
I’m not a fan of [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], or [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] “[name_f]Lina[/name_f]”. Also, just want to clarify that [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would be the MN, not the sister. I’m not worried about the connection to the Age of [name_f]Adaline[/name_f] - honestly that’s where I got y inspiration. I just prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] to [name_f]Adaline[/name_f].
