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. Do you prefer Adeline 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:

  2. I love Edaline! [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is very beautiful too, but I prefer Edaline because it sounds more unique and more interesting.
  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!

  1. No, I dont know of the book in reference
  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.
