Is Adelisa Dannielle too much?

I’m sorry; I love this name but I’m a little iffy still/. :confused:

I think problem lies with the D sound in ADelisa and [name_f]Danielle[/name_f], not the worse thing that a combo can have and darling for people who like repetition (as in me I love it :rofl: and personally have no problem other than the a at the end making the flow less flowy)

Adelise [name_f]Dannielle[/name_f] is pretty hard to say. I also want the nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f], so I need the second A. :slight_smile:

Why not [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f]?

I have a bad association with [name_f]Anna[/name_f], & it’s really nms anyways. Also, [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f] is honoring [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] & [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], & I’m more of a fan of the sound than ELisabeth (my other idea).

I don’t think so.

Bump.

I don’t think it’s too much and I like the look of it written down. I’m not sure how to pronounce [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f], I’m reading it as “ad-lisa” with the ad part being similar to the pronunciation of the name [name_f]Adaline[/name_f] (ad-uh-line)? Or is it pronounced more like aid-lisa? Thanks in advance for explaining.

You mentioned wanting to honor both an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and a [name_u]Lisa[/name_u], I know at least one [name_u]Lisa[/name_u]/Liza who’s name is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] names have enough overlap in pronunciation and letters that I can see how it would be hard to combine them into one honor name. [name_f]Elisa[/name_f] comes to mind, but it’s not the same style as [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f]. Also, not sure that I knew that the “[name_u]Ade[/name_u]” in [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f] is a reference to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Admittedly, I only know a handful of Elizabeths and most of them go by a nickname.

There are so many talented name experts here, I know they’ll help you’ll find a combo you adore.

I prefer the [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] spelling. Other than that, I think it’s a nice combination.

I think it works. I would pronounce [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f] as add-uh-LEE-sa, not sure if that’s how you pronounce it though.

The “elisa” is the [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] reference. :slight_smile:

That’s the proper pronunciation.

Thank you for explaining that!

It sounds fine to me, it just looks a bit long.

Ooooh absolutely not! [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f] “[name_f]Ada[/name_f]” [name_f]Danielle[/name_f](I prefer one ‘n’ personally!) is so sweet and flows really well. I actually think the repeated D sound makes it mesh incredibly well, and the uncommon first with a more traditional middle is something I’ve always had a soft spot for!

If you’re waffling on [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f] but really want nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Adalaide[/name_f] is super cute. Slight spelling twist to get the ‘[name_f]Ada[/name_f]’ beginning you want, but [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] has the same sound and you could easily get [name_f]Ada[/name_f] from [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] as well! Plus the super cute nn Laidie, it’s a favorite of mine!

Adelaide is too popular for me! But I still love the name & always will. ADelisA gets the nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f] as well, along with honoring great people [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] & [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] in my life.

I agree with PPs that it’s the D’s that are the problem. D is such a hard sound that having two not on opposite sides of a combo, if even in the same combo at all, is (almost always) too much. [name_f]Adelisa[/name_f] is beautiful, though!

I think it’s a beautiful combo!
