I really love it. My current combo is Adeline Rose (Rose honors my grandma.) I pronounce it AH-dah-leen / AH-duh-leen.

O!You may be saying it like I am saying Ottoline!How I love Ottoline!There is also Audeline which is similar. It is probably more the pronounciation you are looking for? Would your prn lend itself to the nickname Addie?

Sweet AdelineThe barbershop quartet standard, "Sweet Adeline" is what I invariably think of. But that's a plus. Adeline is nostalgic and, well, sweet. :-) Love it.

AH-da-line, sometimes -leen when I'm tired.I think it's a nice enough name, but somewhat plain. And if it's for a character for you, miz MermaidLover, it's quite nice. Just the right amount of understated-ness, I think.

"AD-uh-leen"..I think it sounds prettier.
It's ok, not generally my style, but there's nothing especially wrong with it.

"add a line." (m to OP)to OP: I really love it, but I would be surprised if it didn't become ultra-popular soon. With all the Madelines, Addisons, and Madisons, it's only a matter of time until it's top 10 material, I think.

Very pretty, I love Adeline. I only like ad-eh-lyn and ad-eh-line, though, not a fan of ad-eh-leen.
