My first thought was that it looked medieval. In Italian it's lovely, and when I first said it in my accent (a-del-AY-zhuh) I quite liked it. But then... it started to sound like "addle Asia." :-(

That -asia puts me in mind of "aphasia" which makes me think of "amnesia" and the "Adel-" part makes me think of "addle" so it puts me in mind of someone who's muddled because of some kind of brain injury or neurological issue; it is a bit too medical for me. That does give it some Addams Family-esque type charm but I don't know how it would work on a real person (these days). It's definitely got a Gothic sort of beauty!

I like it. I like Alagia too, a lot of those Medieval Italian names are very cool.

I prefer Adeline or Adelisa

Beautiful!

I think it's cute, too. And dramatic!
