I’m new to nameberry, but I wanted to post this anyway: our first little one finally arrived over 2 weeks late earlier this month! Her name is [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Iria[/name_f].
I vowed I’d name my first daughter “[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]” when I first came across the name in a book I read at age 12. And [name_f]Iria[/name_f] (EAR-ee-ah) is Portuguese for a family name, [name_f]Irene[/name_f] (pronounced [name_f]Irene[/name_f]-ee) that didn’t sound quite right with our last name.
