My husband and I are preparing to welcome our second child at the end of June. We’re team green and can’t agree on a boy name. We both like the idea of using a family name (our first son is a third), but we both have horrible male names in our family. If it’s a girl, we’re thinking of Adelia Jean, after my great-grandmother and my mom. I love how the name feels classic but still has lots of cute possible nicknames. I’ve tried thinking of boy names that are close to Adelia, but all I can think of is Adolf. Does anyone know of boy names with a similar feel? If it helps, we will probably use the middle name Lloyd (after my grandpa).
Here are some unisex and boys options with the same Ad- prefix:
– Adair
– Adalius
– Adam
– Aden
– Addison
– Ademar / Ademir
– Adeon
– Adelio
– Adonis
– Adrian
My first thought is Edel, the German word for “noble”, which is where the name Adelia comes from. You could also spell it Adel to have a closer connection.
The first things that came to mind for me were [name_u]Aiden[/name_u] and [name_u]Adel[/name_u]! Also thinking [name_u]Dean[/name_u], [name_u]Dell[/name_u], [name_u]Dill[/name_u], [name_u]Alden[/name_u], and [name_u]Adler[/name_u] are great!!
