My husband and I have three names picked out for our future babies (hoping to start a family next year). The first two are in stone: [name_u]August[/name_u] for a boy and [name_f]Thora[/name_f] for a girl. We also have [name_f]Adelia[/name_f] picked out for maybe a third child. My problem with [name_f]Adelia[/name_f] is that I HATE the nickname [name_f]Addie[/name_f]. Anyone have any ideas for alternatives? The full name would be [name_f]Adelia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]…so anything you could get out of that may be helpful. I would prefer to pull a nickname from [name_f]Adelia[/name_f] but I literally cannot think of anything except [name_f]Addie[/name_f], [name_f]Dee[/name_f], and [name_f]Delia[/name_f] (which, then we should just use [name_f]Delia[/name_f], I suppose).
We talked about using [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (I like it because I like [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as a nickname), but my husband has bad memories of an [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], so he’s not a fan.
I think [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_u]Dell[/name_u], [name_f]Lia[/name_f] and [name_f]Dee[/name_f] are all cute nicknames for [name_f]Adelia[/name_f]!
My first thought would be [name_f]Della[/name_f], which is a super great nickname! [name_f]Lia[/name_f], AJ, and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] are other options.
