I voted for Adeline. I like Adalaide, too, but my friends have been considering it but decided that they didn't want their dd to have "laid" in the middle of her name. I know kids tease and can always find something to key in on, but once they pointed this out it ruined it for me... I don't mean to ruin it for you, just wanted to give you this to consider.

One other consideration is the nn Addie. I think it's so cute, but with all the Maddie's running around and other Addie's (mostly from Addison) it could feel more common than the name actually is. Just something to think about.

Oh! You stumped me! LOL


I love all of these, but finally decided to go with Adelia simply because I hear it the least. Well, to be honest, I've never heard it at all IRL (unless you count Wyatt Earp's sister, but I didn't personally know her so ... LOL), and have only seen it on here a handful of times since adding it to my own list some time ago. ;)


You might also like Adele and Adela, btw.


ETA: Per the pp's comments about the commonness of "Addie," I just wanted to mention that I wouldn't use it for any of these, actually. Depending on which given name, I find Ada, Adele, Dell, Della, Delia or Lina to be lovely, refreshing choices ... I'd choose any of them in a heartbeat. ;)

I love all of them. I can see why you are having such a hard time choosing. Adelaide and Adeline are my favorites, and if pressed, I think I'd choose Adelaide. But really, all of them are so lovely.
