Adela

This name is all things perfect in my mind- beautifully classy, internationally used, an elegant sound, fun to write, and a balanced 5-lettered length. For years, I preferred the spelling Adella, as it looked nicer to me. I still enjoy the name Adella, but I much prefer the simplistic, yet stunning Adela. If you're considering this name for your daughter, I say no second thoughts necessary- she's getting an underused (well, at least here, and in my opinion), historical name that sounds mature and international. Plus, in the English-speaking world, you can get the wonderful nickname Addie!

It's a decent name.

It’s decent. I wouldn’t mind having this as my name.

Wonderful name!

Tantalizing.

Lovely and vintage.

So pretty.

So pretty and elegant.

What a beautiful name! Sweet for a little girl and elegant and romantic for a grown woman. Enviably ageless. Del (the Welsh for "pretty") makes a good nickname.

Adela is a completely nice name. Never knew an Adela, but the history of this name is great and I think this name has a potential to be popular because of the sound.

I've always found the name Adela so sooo beautiful and lovely! :) ♥.

I want to like this name, but when it is said aloud, all I can think of is mortadella.

This is really pretty! I like it a lot more than just Adele.

Stunning name. Much prefer the spelling Adella.

Stunning, magnificent, lovely name and my all time favorite girls name, this will be the name of my first daughter.

This is my niece's name, spelled Adella. It makes a nice, cute name for a little girl, but is also suitable for an adult.

I think this name sounds very natural and like it belongs to someone very strong but feminine, too.

Like others have mentioned, Adela is the youngest daughter in The House of Bernarda Alba, which is where I was first introduced to this name. I think it is very pretty!

I think it sounds beautiful but snobby. In Sweden "adel" means "nobility".

Adela is very sweet name, it will age well. I prefer spelling Adella.

People who are named Adela can stir forth a multiple number of traits. The best and the worst. I once knew a girl named Adella (which is my preferred way of spelling it) and she was very knowledgeable, generous, humble and talented. She was also the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. But yet Adela sounds like it could be the name of a very prudent woman. Which ever it could be, I think Adella is a very nice name. =)

Adela is a gorgeous name that manages to be simple but still interesting. It's dignified and feminine.
