I prefer the Adela spelling, as other posters mentioned; Adella reminds me of the heavier name Della or Dell.
Adele and Adella have a stressed second syllable that often seems to help the "flow" in the middle name spot. I guess this is why Renee got so popular as a middle name!
Adele is one of my favorite choices for this spot (except my computer geek brothers would never let my daughter live down, "Dude, it's a Dell!" if I actually used it.)
Adelaide is a nice variation that shifts the stress to the first syllable, if you want that name as a first name in a combo.
How about:
Adelaide Viola
The pretty and frilly Adelaida Violet
Or Adella with a more "flowy" middle name: Adella Celeste

Adele Violet or Violet Adele would be better

I greatly prefer Adele, or even Adeline. Adeline Violet would be lovely.

I prefer Adele Violet.

I don't like that spelling at all. Adela is much prettier.
Not a fan of Violet, too cutesy.

It's a really pretty combo, although I do prefer the spelling Adela.

It's really pretty! Adella was one of the sisters in the Little Mermaid movie =)

Nice combo, but I prefer Adele Violet and Adela Violet. It looks better without the extra L.
