I have recently started liking the name [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f]. I have been trying to find a name to go with it, either as a first or a middle, but I not sure what I like best. So far I have:
Thanks, @hannahcarmeen! I have kind of been leaning towards [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f]. (Either that or [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Cleona[/name_f].)
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] - Like
[name_f]Serena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] - Like
[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] - Dislike very much
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] - Like
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Cleona[/name_f] - Dislike very much
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] Orphelia
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] - Dislike very much
I think you should consider [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and Adelhaid [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] is a great name. I think it deserves to be the first name!
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] works. As does [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] (wonderfully Germanic)!
Not a fan of [name_f]Cleona[/name_f] (it sounds really heavy and clumsy to me) but [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] would be fresh and imo had better flow.
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it! Great flow and sounds beautiful!
[name_f]Serena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] - Another love for the same reason stated above - I do prefer [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] - Not brilliant, but I like it!
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] - I have to say I dislike this one, sorry. [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] doesn’t seem to go well with [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f].
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Cleona[/name_f] - Dislike, sorry
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] - Odd combo, but it works in an equally odd way.
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] - [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] and [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] don’t exactly match, so I’m going to have to say no, sorry.
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] is really unique but personally if I were to go with something like [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] I think there should be a more traditional middle name that she could go by if she doesn’t like [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f].
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] and the suggestion of [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Gisele[/name_f]!
Suggestions (I think, like someone else said, that [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] should be paired with a more traditional middle name):
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] / [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] / [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandrine[/name_f]
I have a feeling that some people will pronounce [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] like [name_m]ADD[/name_m]-Uhl-Hade. I think it would go good in the middle. I like someone’s suggestion of pairing a common with [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] so the little one has options =]
We have pretty different taste in names, so I won’t bore you going through every name.
I will say that I like [name_f]Serena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] best, followed by [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f]. I really like the name [name_f]Luna[/name_f], but it feels like a cat name to me (my cat lol) and I just can’t get past that.
[name_f]Cleona[/name_f] and especially [name_u]Prairie[/name_u], I would say are my least favorites.
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] is intriguing! I like the long “I” sound toward the end. I like [name_f]Serena[/name_f] with [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] a lot, and [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u], too! I like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] a lot, but I’m not sure about [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f], for some reason. I’m not sure about [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Cleona[/name_f], but I love the idea of [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f]! Have you considered that?
No, @ashthedreamer, I hadn’t considered that. (It seems so obvious now, I can’t believe I hadn’t!:)) Thanks for the idea!
I think that I would use [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f], though, since, as @manna pointed out, there would probably be a lot of errors with pronunciation, and not as many with [name_f]Leona[/name_f]. And I’m not sure that I would be brave enough to use [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] as a first if this were for a real child.
Now I’m back and forth between [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] and [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] . . . Two really good options.
Anyone have any thoughts?
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] or [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f]?
