Can't decide on spelling - Adelyn
| Sun, 03-04-2007 - 1:54pm |
We don't know the gender of the baby, but I really would like to name my girl Adelyn. I thought it was prounouced Add-ah-lynn. My mom thought it was pronouced Aid-Lynn. Can you please help determine which spelling looks best and won't confuse people on how to say it? I didn't put this as a poll because I was curious how you pronouced it when you saw the name and also if you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

when I saw on the list in the subject line - before I read the full post - I was pronouncing it your way - Add-ah-lynn
you should get AID with the long A on Ad or Add - you really shouldn't
I like Adelyn because it's nice and simple, but I don't mind the double D version either - Addelyn
I don't like either of the spellings with the I - Adilyn or Addilyn - I don't like the look of them and I could see a possible - not probable, but possible - mispronunciation of Ah-DIL-un with those
I'd choose between Adelyn and Addelyn
good luck
I saw it as Add-lyn and neither your, nor your mother's versions! LOL
How do YOU want it pronounced? Add-ah-lyn? If so, then I would go with
Adalyn, Addalyn or Addelyn
