I don't like it, just because I don't like how it sounds. I hear "delayed" and "addle" and "laid."
I would like
Adelaida, Ad-uh-LIE-duh. And I love
Ada.
The only
Addie name that I don't dislike, is
Adelina.... because it doesn't have the addle sound.
Adelaide sounds antique to me, so more like a fad-antique name, like
Penelope,
Hazel,
Mabel - not popular enough to become really dated.
But I do think the trend for
Addie names is probably starting its decline.
