Edaline ✨

Girl Names

I read the name Edaline in a book, and I just think that it’s so pretty! What do you all think of it? For clarification, it’s pronounced ed - uh - leen.

Some questions:

  1. Does the book that I’m talking about (if you know what it is), come to your mind when you hear this name?
  2. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] or Edaline?
  3. How much would you rate it on a scale of one to ten?
  4. Any negative associations?

Other comments and/or suggestions are welcome as well. Thank you in advance :yellow_heart:

  3. Edaline: 9, I really like it
  4. Absolutely not, this is actually the first time I’ve heard this name!

  1. Nope, I’ve never heard this name before!
  2. Edaline :yellow_heart: she’s so beautiful and unique, and gives me clunky vintage and Victorian vibes. IMO, [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is overused!
  3. I’d give Edaline a 9 :slightly_smiling_face:
  4. I have no negative associations! Great name!

Ooh Edaline is really pretty. I’ve never heard of the book so I can’t help there.

I do prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] but I think that’s because Edaline is new to me. I think it could grow on me

I’d rate it an 8

  1. I’m kind of a diehard fan of a book that has a character named Edaline, so I’m going to assume it’s the same book :blush: (and yes, it comes to mind)
  2. I did not think this question would be that hard but it is!! If I really, really had to pick, probably [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], but only because Edaline could have some pronunciation issues in the future.
  3. 8.75, only thing keeping it from a 9.25 is the pronunciation thing.
  4. None! Really like the name!

  1. Does the book that I’m talking about, come to your mind when you hear this name?

Nope. I’m a bibliophile and have never read this name.

  1. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] or Edaline?

I prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (ah-duh-line) but Edaline is very nice.

  1. How much would you rate it on a scale of one to ten?

8, great choice

  1. Any negative associations?

Nope!

  2. Greatly prefer Edaline!
  3. 8/10
  4. Nope

It’s related really closely to [name_f]Edeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Edelie[/name_f], both of which are names I swoon over, and the pronounciation is gorgeous

I think of edam cheese, edamame, the word line. But I’m not a fan of any line names that I can think of, so I’m not an expert.

I’ve heard/read Edilean in a book some years back (prn. the same as Edaline) and I actually prefer this spelling. I don’t believe that I know the book you are referencing. I vastly prefer Edaline to [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], , and also think it’s a cute twist on a classic, but popular choice and a good feminine alternative for [name_u]Edward[/name_u] / [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] / [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] / et. al.

I would probably rate it at an 8 or 9, but if it was pronounced like ee-dah-leen or ee-dah-lynn it would be a solid 10 as I love any name that can be shortened to [name_f]Edie[/name_f] (ee-dee). Having the nickname [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] (ed-ee) would be the only negative connotation for me personally but I know a lot of people would think it was cute.

I personally LOVE the name Edaline! I too first saw this name in a book (Keeper of The Lost Cities maybe…) And I think it’s a very pretty name. The name does come to mind, but I find nothing wrong with that. I pronounce it Ed-uh-line, but your way is very pretty too! You could use a nickname such as Eddy or leave it as a full name. I think that it is much more uncommon version on Adeline, and I actually prefer it over Adeline. Definitely 10/10 and a lovely association.
