Comments for ADELE:

This sounds good in the European pronunciation, where you enunciate the final "E". But otherwise, it sounds dated and old.

I knew a girl called Adele who pronounced it ah-DEL-ee. Her mother's Italian - don't know whether that makes a difference.
I like this pretty and elegant name, especially with the three-syllable pronunciation.

I absolutely love this name. It's simple, classy, beautiful sounding, and looks gorgeous written out, not to mention it's strangely uncommon. I prefer this spelling much more than with two L's, but either way is fine.
