Forgive my boldness, but... ever since I was a child, Adelaide (and the nickname Addie) has caused my to stomach churn.
The two 'D's and abrupt ending seem so harsh, not to mention the resemblance to "Lemonade" (which, consequently, is all that I can think of.)

That being said, I will list a handful of names that I think will function well with your chosen nickname...

---

• Adelheid: The German form of Adelaide, which does not provoke the same gagging emotion.
• Adelia: A bit generic-sounding, but decent.
• Adhara: This name is unlike my typical preferences... I am fond of it, nonetheless.
• Adrasteia: Although, it is best to be aware that it is a bit much for a little girl, and harsh even in adulthood.
• Esmeralda: Perhaps this specific name is pushing the borders for Addie... I thought that it was nice, though.
• Maddalena: Classic, youthful without being "forever young," a splendid mixture of strength and grace.
