I don't find Adalheidis usable in the modern era, but two of its derivatives are: Adele and Heidi.

It's too medieval to use imo. I'd go for a more modern form. Adelaide, Alice, Heidi.

I don't think it's useable, it's to complicated and therefore sounds pretentious. Adelheid is a little bit more useable as it's simpler, and I like Heidi.

---

I also think Adelheid and Adelheidis sound quite masculine.

No. Go for Adelaide instead. It's a lot more modern-sounding. Adelheid works well too, and you could always use Heidi as a NN for that.

It looks pretentious, and she'd spend her life spelling it out. I'd rather use Adelais or Adelaide instead.

Not usable, in my opinion.

I love medieval names, but some are just TOO medieval. Even the later German version Adelheid is hopelessly outdated and considered ugly now.

I'd use Adela (ah-DEH-la) in a heartbeat though.

No, I'd stick to Adelaide. Adalheidis is just too pretentious.
