HelpRe: CHOOSE A COMBO YOU LIKE THE LEAST?
in reply to a message by Fictionlover94
Aw, I would have kept Katherine Marlene.
I dislike Adalyn. It's not real to me - it's like Madalyn. It's supposed to be ADELINE...
Anyway. Of those first names I prefer Margret. Which by the way is IMO a legit variant spelling, and is familiar enough to use because of actress Ann-Margret. Amelia Adalyn sounds like uh-meal-ya-addlin' and Georgina is nice so I vote to throw A.A.
Keep the rest.

Yeah... well, I think the meal sound problem actually might not matter in real life. I like Emilia, and it has a similar sound. In fact it's almost identical in my accent. There's just something about the spelling Amelia and the sound of it, that turns me off. Amelia is getting pretty popular, though, so I suspect I'm in a smallish minority.
I'm going off the BtN entry for Adalyn, which says it's a variant of Adeline. Are you thinking of it as Ada + Lynn instead? Either way it seems decent to me, I just personally don't care for the style / look of it.
