[Opinions] Re: Adelaide and Maeve
in reply to a message by Aine
I think both Adelaide and Maeve are gorgeous. Adelaide Maeve is lovely, actually. :) I tend to prefer Maeve as a mn, but not because it's not beautiful as a fn. My favorite Maeve combo is Maeve Elspeth. Adelaide Pearl would make a lovely combo as well. Eleanor Ruby is equally as beautious. :b I prefer Nora to Nella-Rue but I can see the attraction...at least while she's young. ;)

I do like Adelaide Maeve a lot, but I don't want to fall back into my old Alexandra/Charlotte dilemma. For years these were my two favourite names (I still adore them, but I like to think my tastes have broadened since joining BtN) and my favourite Alexandra combo was Alexandra Charlotte, and favourite Charlotte combo was Charlotte Alexandra. And no other combo seemed to compare to those two combos! Anyway, it sounds stupid and weird, but I am paranoid about having a similar dilemma! :p
Maeve Elspeth is very lovely. I also really like that Elspeth is a version of Elisabeth like Elise, so in a way it is honouring without being too egotistical or anything.
Adelaide Pearl is stunning. I think it has become my current favourite! Thank you!
I prefer Norah as a long term nn and thats what she would probably go by in school etc and she would rarely be Eleanor. But Nella-Rue has so much appeal as a nn for a little girl and for a nn around the house. Glad you like Eleanor Ruby!Thanks again!
