Hmm… that’s a hard decision. Both are beautiful names and you can’t go wrong with either one.
I would choose [name_f]Etta[/name_f] because of the family connection it has, but [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is beautiful as well. I personally don’t know anything a little girl named [name_f]Etta[/name_f] would be teased about.
Is your surname said like [name_u]James[/name_u] McAvoy’s? If so, then I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] sounds perfect with it! I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] McEvoy is adorable. 
I personally much prefer it to [name_f]Etta[/name_f], although [name_f]Etta[/name_f]'s lovely, too. I’m not sure what an [name_f]Etta[/name_f] would be teased for? It’s very similar to a lot of popular names (like [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Jenna[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], etc.), so I think it fits right in with modern naming styles. If you’re still worried, though, I like the idea of [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Etta[/name_f] a lot, and then you could honor mom and grandma and still use a name up front you both really adore. I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Etta[/name_f] McEvoy is just swoonworthy, actually! Unless you have a MN picked out already, and then, in which case, just ignore the [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Etta[/name_f] bit.
I think either one goes fine with your sibset, but what I’d love to see you go with is [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] or [name_f]Bettina[/name_f] (for [name_f]Betty[/name_f])!
Personally I much prefer [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and I think its great that it honors family members. I am not too sure what the name etta could be teased about? [name_f]Adaline[/name_f] is a little too trendy for me and i thonk is possibly a bit of a mouthful with your last name. The 2 then 3 syllable works a lot better than the 3 then 3 syllable.
I lean more towards [name_f]Etta[/name_f] because there seems to be an influx of names starting with [name_u]Adel[/name_u] lately. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Odette[/name_f]
I prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] then better [name_f]Etta[/name_f].
More wish for your child’s bright future.
My choice is [name_f]Etta[/name_f]. I love it as a little girl, teen and grown name. Its smart.
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] McEvoy is really charming. Bst wishes.
I love [name_f]Etta[/name_f], it’s so pretty, uncommon, classic and girly, perfect combination. I also think it goes best with your other children’s names. I can’t understand why [name_f]Etta[/name_f] would be teased, maybe I’m missing something.
