We thought we had chosen a name finally, but then some people decided to tell me that they don't like it and that it's too old fashioned.

How rude of your family to outright tell you they won't call your child by her given name!
Somebody elses opinion is no more valuable than your own. As long as you love the name they will have to learn to adjust. And from my experience even when I secretly despised the names friends/family were choosing for their babies once the baby was born I couldn't imagine them being called anything else.
(PS- I think it's a beautiful name if that helps at all. And it's not old fashion, it's very current but maybe they just haven't been around young kids to hear the modern trends)
I say go with that name, anyway. I had a similar experience when I named my first daughter.

I think Madilyn is beautiful but i probably wouldnt have paired up adria with ur last name.. thats just my opinion though!
I agree with PPs, your chosen first name is lovely! And not at all too old-fashioned.
My last name begins with an "A" too, and I'm finding it hard to match girl names with the last name. I think that Adria is a nice name, but it doesn't seem to flow with your last name as well. Perhaps something that ends with a consonant?
Then again, a middle name isn't used as often with the last name, so it wouldn't matter as much as a first name ending with an "a."
No one liked our son's name but we stuck to our guns and used it.
