What bugs me is the thought of ten-year-olds, convulsed with merry pride in their own wit and humour, repeating 'A daily moaner!' over and over again.

But, I'm not sure what you mean by a long "a" sound; could be eh, could be ah.

Adalee sounds like an adverb, not a name. "She meandered adally down the boardwalk." I don't like it.

I just think "ate a limona". The word limona is Slovenian for "lemon" and limon means it in a couple other languages.

Have you considered Adelais?

I don't find Adalee to be all that appealing, espeically with the long A sound. It's a bit better with the short A sound.
But if you want the long A sound in the full name, I'd use Adelaide or Adrianna. Adrianna Leigh Mona nn Ada is cute

Have you considered Adalet instead of Adalee ?

I see that Mona is the surname, but as a name I don't like Mona, I think it's boring, dated and full of dust. It's slightly different as a surname though, and I think Adalee Mona could work. Is it for a real person or a character?

I honestly think Adalee is silly an unprofessional seeming. Ada is so classy in itself, why ruin it with the low-class -lee suffix?

Maybe Adelie (AD-ə-lee) "Ada" instead?
