[Opinions] Re: Adeline
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
I really like Adeline. Like, it used to be my favorite name. It's really pretty, but not overly frilly. It's not too terribly common, and it has cute nickname possibilities.
I personally like it without the nickname better. I don't really think Adeline needs a nickname (plus Ada works great on its own), but it had one I like Addie and Lina better. Ada feels to much different from Adeline, plus I'd pronounce it AY-da, while Adeline has the short "a" sound. Although I guess that's not a valid argument because I like Lina even though its LEE-na, and Adeline sounds like "line". I prefer Ada with Adelaide (even though the "a" sounds don't match).
Overall I really like Adeline, and Ada is nice too.
