You'd have to have a really good reason, a better one than being able to get several different nns out of it, to ever give yourself the name Adirondacks. It's a place name, sure, but not all place names make good people names, or are ever even chosen for or by people.
I don't think Adirondacks is a people name any more than Catskills or Ozarks is. Even if a character was very attached to the reason, I still wouldn't buy into them choosing it as a name. Heck, it's too much of a mouthful to even be a nn like Minnesota Fats or Texas Pete.
