I'm not really understanding the issues with Ada. You want a longer name that the surname doesn't compete with so much? Or is it just that using Sue exactly as it is, is more important than using a first name you really love? Or do you just not really like Ada enough? or you feel like it's incomplete? You'd rather compromise on Ada as the first name, than compromise on Sue and make it Susan or Suzanne? I guess you just have different taste from me. To me, Ada Susan Mona (or Ada Suzanne Mona) is a stellar name, jackpot, game over. Not that it isn't fun to consider other options! It is.

Anyway I think the "feeling" of Adalynn is really different from Ada. Adalynn appears to me likely to be based on Adeline and pronounced ADD-a-lynn. Adalynn isn't to my personal taste. It has more of a jeans and flipflops vibe, like Brooklynn and Jaylynn and Ashlynn and Katelynn, while Ada is almost a flapper name, smart, tidy, sturdy, sexy.

But if you like Adalynn, it does sound good with Mona and mn Sue, and I think you could use the prn AID-a-lynn if you wanted. Even though people might get it wrong often they're teachable. I'd prefer Adalyn over Adalynn.
