Comments for the name Adeline

Author Virginia Woolf was born Adeline Virginia Stephen.

A pretty name, I also like Adelyn.

There is a song called "Sweet Adeline."

The nicknames I have heard for this name: Addie/Addy, Ellie, Dellie, Liney, Add.

My neighbor's daughter's middle name is Adelyn. Her first name is Kyleigh. I think it's really cute.

Adeline Records is the record label of punk rock bands like Green Day, AFI and The Living End.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has a clothing line called "Adeline Street" which consists of punk rock wear, accessories, etc.

I love this name, especially the English pronunciation. It's a wonderful alternative to the masculine and overused Addison.

I think this name is very nice, a wonderful alternative to the masculine and overly-trendy Addison. I especially fancy the spelling "Addelyn", for some reason.

This is my name, so I have a particular partiality to it. :D

A famous bearer is Adeline La Franchise from the movie Fanfan la Tulipe. She was played by Gina Lollobrigida.

I really love this name. Given its nickname possibilities, I think it would suit a woman throughout her life.

It's a pretty name, but I know an absolutely HORRIBLE girl named Adeline so I could never think of using it.

Pretty, sweet. Adeline is classic, so it ages well. It's easy to pronounce, spell, and has a good meaning -- it's the diminutive pet form of a name that comes from the meaning "noble." I really like this name.

Lovely and beautiful name!

The pronunciation of Adeline in French should be a-de-LEEN, rather than a-du-LEEN, as the "e" is between two consonants.

Adeline is my daughter's name! I think it's sweet, and classic. My hubby and I get a lot of, "Oh, what a pretty name", when we introduce her! Her middle name is Mable, and we call her Addy Mae!

Adeline is very beautiful, but I feel that Adelaide is gentler.

Adeline Yen Mah (born M¨£ Y¨¢n J¨±nl¨ªng) is a Chinese American author and physian.

I had never heard this name until a friend from school said she wanted to name her first daughter Adilyn. Now I kind of think it's cute, but I wouldn't use it.

One of my favorite names! I pronounce it "ah-deh-lien."

This is more popular than Adele at the moment in America.

Adeline is certainly elegant, but spelt only this way. It's not cute to spell a name incorrectly.

I like this name. I would pronounce it ADD UH LYN, though. I love name with an "in" sound that end in "ine", like Madeline and Katherine. So pretty! I don't like Adelyn though. Pretty name, lucky little girl that gets this name. ☺

In French, the pronunciation of Adeline is the same as in English ~ a-də-LEEN.

Adeline is just too similar to Madeline. It sounds like your saying 'Add a line' - which makes it awkward to say.

The English pronunciation (AD-ə-lien) should be added to the main page by the webmaster ASAP. [noted -ed]

This was my gramma's middle name. She pronounced it AD-A-LINE. But she was named after her Aunt who was a French American so it was probably pronounced AD-A-LEEN by her. Most people I know pronounce it like gramma.

Love Adeline, hate Adelynn or some other obnoxious respelling.

It's not my favorite name, but it is somewhat nice.

I have always liked the name Adeline and would use it, except I can't think of any name to put with it that I like. I think the best way to spell it is definitely ADELINE.

Reminds me of the Elliott Smith song.

I could see this name being misheard as Emmeline, which I would think would be more common Adeline, but according to the ranking's apparently not.

I love this name. It's beautiful, has a pleasant meaning, and I think it would fit all stages of life. If I have a daughter I am definitely going to consider this name. I prefer the French pronunciation over the English one and I like Ada for a nickname.

No thanks. It sounds super long, and its really just Madeline with out the M. I much prefer Madeline.
