ArchivesRe: Adalie??
in reply to a message by Shona
Hi there, I live in Germany. My personal impression of Adalie: It might be used in Germany occasionally and I think it would be accepted (though considered unusual) but I have never heard of an Adalie myself.
I think many Germans would put it either in the Amalie category (pronouncing it ah-DAH-lee-ə) or in the Amelie & Annelie category (pronouncing it AH-dah-lee). Or they would just ask how Adalie wants her name pronounced ;)
German wiki does not list Adalie.
My German namebook does not list it either.
From my experience as a name nerd (lol) I'd say it is related to Adelheid and its diminutives?
Hope I could help.
